A stationary exercise device includes a support structure and one or more input members such as pedals, handles, or other feature movably connected to the support structure. A movable output member such as a wheel is movably mounted to the support structure, and operably connected to the one or more input members such that movement of the one or more input members causes the output member to move. A resistance member interacts with the output member when the output member is moving to generate a variable resistance force tending to prevent movement of the output member. The variable resistance force may at least partially simulate the effects of inertia and/or momentum.
A cycle trainer for generating a resistance force in a bicycle when a bicycle is connected to the cycle trainer, the cycle trainer comprising:
A stationary exercise device, comprising:
A method of controlling stationary exercise equipment having one or more movable input members that move in response to user forces applied to the one or more movable input members, wherein the one or more movable input members are operably connected to one or more movable output members such that a resistance force acting on the one or more movable output members changes user forces required to move the one or more movable input members, the method comprising:
A stationary exercise device comprising:
