ABSTRACT:
A work control apparatus in a bicycle exerciser having a driven member rotatively mounted on a exerciser frame. The work control apparatus includes a housing mounted to the frame and providing support for a spring loaded, pivotally mounted lever connected to a brake assembly for selectively determining the braking pressure exerted on the driven member. A sliding member is mounted to an inclined bearing plane on the housing, and is selectively engageable with a bearing portion of the lever to hold it in a predetermined position. The lever bearing portion is rotatable about the pivot axis to define an acute axis of intersection with the inclined bearing plane, facilitating the bearing engagement of the sliding member and the engagement of the sliding member with the lever provides a visual indication of the pressure exerted on the driven member by the brake assembly. A handle mounted on the exerciser frame and connected to the lever by a cable is used to pivot the lever to selectively determine the braking pressure on the driven member.
