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 bicycle simulator includes a base portion having a frame shape; a frame support portion supported by the base portion and supporting a bicycle frame connecting a front wheel of a mounted bicycle to a rear wheel of the mounted bicycle; a first treadmill extending in a running direction of the bicycle, supporting the front wheel of the bicycle, and rotating according to rotation of the front wheel; and a second treadmill extending in the running direction of the bicycle, supporting the rear wheel of the bicycle, and rotating according to rotation of the rear wheel, wherein the frame support portion is disposed between the first treadmill and the second treadmill.

Provided is a bicycle simulator including: a base portion; a frame support portion connected to the base portion to be movable in one direction and supporting a frame of a mounted bicycle connecting a front wheel and a rear wheel of the bicycle; a first sensor configured to sense a moving distance and a moving direction of the frame support portion in the one direction; a communication circuit configured to receive the moving distance and the moving direction of the frame support portion sensed by the first sensor; a processor configured to generate a bicycle avatar of which a traveling direction changes according to the moving distance and the moving direction of the frame support portion transmitted from the communication circuit; and a display configured to display a traveling state of the bicycle avatar.

The present invention relates to a bicycle simulator that supports a frame of a mounted bicycle, the frame connecting a front wheel and a rear wheel of the mounted bicycle. A bicycle simulator according to an embodiment includes a base, a first frame support extending in a first direction and supported on the base, and a second frame support extending in a second direction, which is different from the first direction, and connected to the first frame support to be rotatable about one axis, wherein the second frame support supports a frame of a mounted bicycle, the frame connecting a front wheel and a rear wheel of the mounted bicycle.

Provided is a virtual road surface implementation-type bicycle simulator. The virtual road surface implementation-type bicycle simulator according to the present disclosure includes a rear wheel support portion that supports a rear wheel of a mounted bicycle and rotates together with rotation of the rear wheel; and a road surface implementation portion including a plurality of uneven portions that perform a protrusion operation at various heights on an outer peripheral surface of the rear wheel support portion in contact with the rear wheel, thereby providing a rider riding the bicycle with various road surface states which are virtually set.

A bicycle simulator including a frame support portion for supporting a bicycle frame, the bicycle frame connecting front and rear wheels of the bicycle; and a base portion supporting the frame support portion. The frame support portion includes a first support bar having one end portion thereof fixed to the bicycle frame, a second support bar having one end portion thereof fixed to the base portion, and a connection portion for connecting the other end portion of the second support bar and the other end portion of the first support bar. The first support bar is connected to be rotatable about one axis with respect to the second support bar.

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 bicycle simulator is arranged by arranging a front wheel and a rear wheel of a bicycle on the same plane. The bicycle simulator includes a front roller that supports a front wheel of a bicycle that is mounted and rotates together with a rotation of the front wheel, The bicycle simulator further includes a rear roller that supports a rear wheel of the bicycle and rotates together with a rotation of the rear wheel. A first support point at which the front roller supports the front wheel and a second support point at which the rear roller supports the rear wheel are arranged on the same plane. Not only a substantially flat ride path but also various ride modes in which an inclination angle may be adjusted according to a ride mode may be implemented, and a dynamic experience similar to the actual ride situation may be enjoyed.

A bike balance trainer apparatus for training a rider to balance on a single wheel of a bicycle and including a mount for a service stand and an attachment to allow it to act as a bike stand or storage apparatus is provided. The apparatus may have a base support member and a tire retention member movably connected to the base support member about a first pivot.
