Abstract
A braking device for an exercising cycle includes a main body, a mounting member, and a plurality of braking mechanisms. Each of the braking mechanisms includes a braking member, a threaded block, and an elastic member. Thus, the braking device can achieve the braking effect without having to provide the brake pad, thereby saving consumption of material. In addition, the braking effect is provided by the multiple braking rods, so that the applied force can be evenly distributed, thereby increasing the lifetime of the braking device. Further, the threaded block can be rotated to adjust the magnitude of the braking force, thereby achieving the exercising effect efficiently.
