The bicycle ramp of the present invention is foldable and easily transportable. The bicycle ramp of the present invention may be built directly onto a utility trailer with a foldable gate and wheels and thus is transportable to be pulled along the back of a suitable vehicle using the hitch. The bicycle ramp of the present invention creates an inclined surface for bicycle riding applications, including the teaching of a beginning cyclist skills such as balancing and pedal. There is a receiving slot to engage the rear wheel of the bicycle at the flat upper section of the bicycle ramp. The receiving slot stabilizes the bicycle in a static position until a releasable stopper is released to launch the rider down the angled sections of the bicycle ramp.

A bicycle trainer, including a base, permitting fore and aft movement and a frame, supported by the base. Also, a seat and a handlebar assembly and a pedaling assembly is supported by the frame. The handlebar assembly is rotatably engaged to the frame, and is supported by a tongue, that is hinged to the base so as to permit horizontal rotation, and the handlebar assembly is attached to the tongue at a position removed from the hinge. Turning the handlebars causes the frame to move laterally.

Bicycle trainer with variable magnetic resistance to pedaling
09802099 · 2017-10-31 ·

A bicycle trainer provides variable resistance to pedaling and allows for a rider to simulate a real-world bicycle course. The trainer engages both the front tire and the back tire of the bicycle and adjusts each according to the rider's preferences during a training session. The front tire lifts up and down as the bicycle moves forward and backward on the trainer. The back tire is adjusted by incorporating magnets thereon in the form of magnetic elements on a sleeve or a clip that engages the back tire and/or the back tire rim. The magnets on the back tire may also be attached to the spokes. The trainer includes magnets as well, usually of opposite polarity, and adds resistance to pedaling when the magnetic fields of the magnets interact to resist back tire revolution.
