ABSTRACT:
A resistance device is to be used with an exerciser having an axle, a wheel mounted on the axle, and a driving unit which is manually operable to drive rotatably the wheel on the axle. The resistance device includes a support frame and a resistance unit. The support frame is adapted to be mounted on the exerciser so as to raise the wheel above a ground surface to prevent the ground surface from providing resistance to rotation of the wheel. The resistance unit includes a transmission shaft mounted rotatably on the support frame and adapted to be driven rotatably by the wheel, and weights applied on the transmission shaft so as to generate a resistance to rotation of the transmission shaft in order to resist, in turn, the rotation of the wheel.
