ABSTRACT:
The loading apparatus includes a rotary disk that is rotated by a pair of pedals, in order to generate a desired resistive load. A rotary shaft is connected to the rotary disk, and applied the resistive load to the bicycle wheel. A pair of eddy current generating members generate a user controlled, variable eddy current on the rotary disk. Each eddy current generating member includes one set of magnets, such that these magnets are generally oppositely disposed with respect to the rotary disk. Each set of magnets includes a plurality of magnets of alternating polarities, there are concentrically continuously arranged around the rotary shaft.
