ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an apparatus for the training of cyclists that simulates the riding of a bicycle while in a stationary position. The training apparatus includes a running belt in a platform base on top of which are placed the wheels of a bicycle and a front vertical bar that secures the bicycle at the frame or handlebars onto the apparatus. The front vertical bar is adapted to pivotally swing laterally back and forth so that a rider of the bicycle may exert a force thereby tilting the bicycle to facilitate pedaling, and springs attached to the front vertical bar provide resistance against the inclination and return the bicycle to a generally vertical orientation. Stops are also provided to limit the degree of inclination of the bicycle.
