Abstract
Bicycle exercising apparatus is provided by a standard bicycle having its rear wheel supported by a stand and by a flywheel having its side tensed against the rear tire to be driven by the rear tire to provide drag. The stand adjusts drag by changing the distance between the axis of rotation of the flywheel and the plane of the rear wheel. The stand includes a pair of struts pivotally attached to the stand and having a vee supporting relationship to the bicycle hub both in side and top views of the assembly. One strut of each pair has a telescopically adjustable arm supporting cup-shaped fittings engaging the nuts at the ends of the axle bolts of the rear wheel.
