An indoor, stationary, bicycle training device that provides advantages over conventional designs of exercise bicycles is provided. The stationary bicycle may include a tilting/pivoting mechanism to orient the indoor bicycle to simulate descending or climbing. The indoor bicycle may include flexible and resilient frame elements to support the indoor training device to move side-to-side under some riding situations thereby simulating the side-to-side swaying motion of an outdoor bicycle under the same riding situations. The indoor bicycle may include several combinations of frame adjustments to provide configurable dimensions of the indoor bicycle to adjust the frame to properly fit the rider, which may be adjusted based on corresponding dimensions of a user's outdoor bicycle. Still other aspects of the stationary bicycle device may aid in creating an outdoor feeling while using the device.

A direct-drive bicycle training system and methods of using the same are provided. The system includes a bicycle trainer that rests on a support surface and supports a bicycle frame in an upright manner with respect to the support surface. The bicycle trainer includes a stator, a rotor that rotates with respect to the stator, a cassette affixed to the rotor, a support frame supporting the stator, rotor, and cassette, and a resistance applying mechanism that operatively couples to a portion of a drivetrain of the bicycle frame and applies varying levels of resistance to the portion of the drivetrain. The support frame moves with respect to the support surface in response to a force applied to the drivetrain of the bicycle frame during use of the bicycle training system, generating a more natural movement of the bicycle and simulating on-road use.

A steering assembly for a mounted bicycle is disclosed herein. The steering assembly includes a support base and at least one omnidirectional roller assembly extending from a bottom surface thereof. The at least one omnidirectional roller assembly is operatively disposed in direct contact with a ground surface and is structured to facilitate movement of the support base along the ground surface in a plurality of different arcuate and linear paths to accommodate varying trail measurements of a bicycle. The varying trail measurements of the bicycle are defined by varying angles of the bicycle relative to the ground surface during operative use of the steering assembly.

Provided is a bike training device having a frame that rotatably supports a pair of rear rollers spaced a distance apart from each other along a longitudinal axis of the frame to rotatably support a rear wheel of the bicycle that rolls on both of the rear rollers. A front roller is spaced apart from the rear rollers along the frame a suitable distance to rotatably support a front wheel of the bicycle. A guide apparatus comprising a connection mechanism that is pivotally supported at an elevation vertically above the frame cooperates with a rear hub of the bicycle and allows for lateral movement of the rear wheel in axial directions along the rear rollers during rotation of the rear wheel of the bicycle, but limits an extent of the lateral movement to maintain the rear wheel between terminal lateral ends of the rear rollers.

A swingable mechanical structure installed to fitness equipment or bicycles includes a machine base, a swing mechanism, and an auxiliary bracket. The swing mechanism includes a rotating shaft, a tilt member, and a swing post. The rotating shaft of the swing mechanism is installed into an assembling slot of the rotating shaft. Both ends of the auxiliary bracket are assembled to the machine base and an end of the swing post. When the rotating shaft is rotated, the rotating shaft is rotated to an angle with the respect to the tilt member, so that the swing post may swing together with the tilt member sideway and rotated around the tilt member. One of the ends of the swing post is limited by the auxiliary bracket, so that the swing post can just swing sideway to produce a mechanical structure with a force input and output conversion.

A training apparatus having a progress indicator and unified base for different apparatus types, such as for an ergometer, speed bike, recumbent bike, home training bike, rowing apparatus, elliptical trainer, cross-trainer or treadmill. The fitness apparatus of every apparatus type is based on a structure which is unified in terms of technical design, according to which the frame or pedestal of the fitness apparatus has rollers which are arranged on the frame or pedestal such that a tilt-stable positioning of the frame with respect to the subsurface and a longitudinal displacement of the frame or of the frame together with the pedestal relative to the subsurface is enabled by means of an actuator depending on the measure of success of the user training.

The present invention relates to an indoor stand with degrees of movement side gear for use with bicycles comprising two main components assembled in an integrated manner: 1) a rear roller and 2) a front stand that attaches to the fork, instead of the front wheel, in which springs or cushions below the front fork allow degree of lateral movement to the left and right, in which a main bar is coupled to the base by an axis that allows the lateral movement degrees with stability. The presence of these components makes the present invention well simulate the experience of pedaling outdoors and working on the user's shoulders, arms and abdomen.

A rehabilitation and exercise system can include a base. A static device can be coupled to the base and configured to provide isometric exercise for a user by receiving static force from the user to facilitate at least one of osteogenesis or muscle hypertrophy for the user. In addition, a dynamic device can be coupled to the base and configured to provide a dynamic exercise for the user by being moved by the user to facilitate at least one of osteogenesis and muscle hypertrophy for the user.

An exercise arrangement includes a movable support that is movable in a fore-aft direction and simultaneously movable laterally, e.g. about a tilt axis. The support may be a platform movably mounted to a base. A roller and track arrangement may be provided between the platform and the base, to provide movement of the platform in the axial direction relative to the base as well as an axially neutral position of the platform relative to the base. The roller and track arrangement may be in the form of one or more curved roller and track engagement surfaces that extend in the axial direction and that provide a gravity bias of the platform toward the neutral position. The roller and track arrangement may provide tilting movement of the movable platform about the tilt axis. A tilt biasing arrangement biases the platform toward a neutral tilt position relative to the base.

A swingable mechanical structure installed to fitness equipment or bicycles includes a machine base, a swing mechanism, and an auxiliary bracket. The swing mechanism includes a rotating shaft, a tilt member, and a swing post. The rotating shaft of the swing mechanism is installed into an assembling slot of the rotating shaft. Both ends of the auxiliary bracket are assembled to the machine base and an end of the swing post. When the rotating shaft is rotated, the rotating shaft is rotated to an angle with the respect to the tilt member, so that the swing post may swing together with the tilt member sideway and rotated around the tilt member. One of the ends of the swing post is limited by the auxiliary bracket, so that the swing post can just swing sideway to produce a mechanical structure with a force input and output conversion.
