Selectively adjustable resistance assemblies and methods of use for bicycles

A method, comprising:

• receiving a first resistance selection from a plurality of incrementing predetermined resistance settings from a user through a human machine interface of a device, the device comprising at least one flywheel and a resistance assembly that exerts a resistance force that counteracts rotation of the at least one flywheel;
• controlling the resistance assembly to selectively change the resistance force based on the first resistance selection;
• receiving a second resistance selection from a manual resistance selector, wherein the second resistance selection is a refinement of the first resistance selection, and wherein the first and second resistance selections have a same unit of measurement;
• and
• controlling the resistance assembly to selectively refine the resistance force based on the second resistance selection.

A bicycle, comprising:

• at least one flywheel configured to be rotated by a user operating pedals;
• a resistance assembly associated with the at least one flywheel, the resistance assembly configured to exert a resistance force that counteracts rotation of the at least one flywheel configured to be caused by the user using the pedals;
• a human machine interface that is configured to allow the user to choose a first resistance selection for the resistance force, the first resistance selection chosen by the user from a plurality of incrementing increment predetermined resistance settings;
• a secondary resistance selector that is configured to allow the user to choose a second resistance selection for the resistance force, the second resistance selection allowing for positive or negative refinement of the resistance force, wherein the first and second resistance selections have a same unit of measurement;
• and
• a controller that selectively controls the resistance assembly to apply the resistance force based on the first resistance selection and the second resistance selection.
