ABSTRACT:
In an excercising apparatus for supporting a bicycle, a pivotally mounted member connects to a rear axle of the bike to constrain movement of the axle about the pivot of the support member. A support roller, horizontally located on the opposite side of the rear axle relative to the pivot point, supports and applies a load to the rear wheel. An inclined front wheel support means has a stiffness such that when the operator shifts has weight toward the front wheel support means, a rearward force is exerted on the rear tire.
