Abstract
A controlled pressure resistance unit engagement system for bicycle training devices uses a clutch arrangement to limit the maximum torque applied. By doing so, a consistent, correct pressure on a bicycle tire by the resistance unit is achieved, thereby avoiding damage to the resistance unit and the bicycle tire and allowing a more consistent resistance unit power curve to be achieved.
