ABSTRACT:
An exerciser includes a flywheel rotatably attached onto a frame and coupled to a pair of foot pedals with a transmission device, an arch having one end rotatably coupled to the frame, one or more magnetic members attached to the arch and moveable toward or away from the flywheel, to adjust the magnetic retarding force to the flywheel. A brake shoe is attached to the other end of the arch, and movable to engage with and to brake the flywheel. A spring may bias the arch and the brake shoe away from the flywheel, to allow the brake shoe to be moved toward and against the flywheel and to brake the flywheel selectively. An actuating device may force the brake shoe of the arch to engage with and to brake the flywheel.
