Training apparatus

A training apparatus for physical exercise, preventive exercise and rehabilitation of injuries and increased balance, the apparatus designed as a stationary exercise bicycle, such as ergometer bike or spinning bike, the apparatus comprising:

• a first stable frame configured to be supportable by a floor, and
• a second frame which is pivotally connected with the first frame in order to allow the second frame to tilt transversely relative to the first frame, and which second frame has a flywheel rotatably attached thereto, means for transmission of motion from a crank device with pedals to the flywheel, and means for rotary resistance on the flywheel and adjustment of the resistance, characterised in:
• that the second frame has a rear region and a front region, and has a seat at the rear region, the front region including a steering gear and a suspension unit capable of controlling tilt movement of the second frame relative to the first frame,
• that the steering gear and suspension unit comprises a handlebar and a steering rod extending downwards from the handlebar through a front member of the second frame, the steering rod being guided through the front member of the second frame, where a part of the steering rod extends below the front member,
• that said part of the steering rod that extends below the front member has a lowest end and an upper region, and a pair of linkage bars are pivotally linked to the lowest end, said linkage bars having outermost opposite ends and their opposite outermost ends being provided with wheels,
• that dampers are provided at the front region and have an upper end pivotally attached to the upper region of said part of the steering rod, and have respective lower ends pivotally attached to respective opposite outermost ends of said linkage bars,
• that said wheels are configured to be supportable by a floor on which the first frame is supportable,
• that the steering gear and suspension unit with its handlebar, its steering rod its linkage bars, its wheels and dampers are turnable relative to the first and second frame, and
• that a biasing spring is provided on the steering rod and the steering rod is slideable relative to the front member of the second frame against spring force of the biasing spring.
