Bicycling exercise apparatus

A method for enabling a user to perform a simulated bicycling exercise, comprising:

• providing two mounting points defining an axis, the two mounting points comprising an upper rear mounting point and a lower front mounting point;
• employing a frame with the two mounting points, the frame comprising a head tube having a stem passing therethrough, the stem connected to a handlebar arrangement, the frame configured to receive forces from the user and dissipate the forces into frame leaning forces;
• and
• enabling the user, when facing forward, to operate pedals associated with the frame, said pedals associated with a wheel;
• wherein the user has an ability to cause said frame to pivot about at least one mounting point by leaning to one side;
• and wherein the user leaning to one side causes rotation of the stem within the head tube resulting from movement of a connection arrangement connecting the stem to a base, the connection arrangement comprising an arm.

An apparatus for enabling a user to perform a simulated bicycling exercise, comprising:

• a frame comprising a head tube;
• a higher rear mounting point and a lower front mounting point configured to maintain the frame;
• a pair of pedals and a wheel attached to the frame enabling the user to perform a pedaling motion;
• a seat for maintaining the user in a forward facing orientation;
• a stem connected to a handlebar arrangement, the stem passing through the head tube and connected to a base by a connection arrangement comprising an arm;
• and
• resistive articulation hardware configured to enable the user leaning in a direction to cause pivoting of said bicycle frame about the axis in the direction of leaning, causing rotation of the stem within the head tube by movement of the connection arrangement comprising the arm.
