Abstract
An exercise equipment system with a movable support that is movable in a lateral direction, a sensor adapted to generate a lateral tilt signal, and a processor for generating a left or right turn output signal to a ride simulation in response to tilting of the exercise equipment during use. The exercise equipment may be a cycle mounted to a base. The processor may further filter out small magnitude sensor signals generated through left or right tilting that occurs during cycling, which are not indicative of a turn. The system may also include a display for visualizing a ride simulation of one or more network connected cycle avatars that are individually controlled with a lean-to-steer system.
