Abstract
A training apparatus for stationary bicycle rollers includes a platform base with multiple panels and the panels are pivotally connected to each other and configured to fold together when not in use for ease of transportation and reduced storage space. The platform is configured to removably mate with an adjustable stabilization bar configured to provide stabilization support to a cyclist when using stationary bicycle rollers.
Claims18
A training apparatus configured to receive a stationary bicycle training device while in an extended flat configuration and transition to a folded configuration, the apparatus comprising:
- a. a platform base comprising a first base panel having a first receiver aperture and a second receiver aperture and a second base panel having a first receiver member and a second receiver member, wherein said second base panel is pivotally connected to said first base panel;
- b. a first vertical stabilization bar removably mounted to said platform base;
- c. a second vertical stabilization bar removably mounted to said platform base;
- d. a horizontal stabilization bar removably mounted to said first vertical stabilization bar and said second vertical stabilization bar, and configured to provide support for a cyclist operating a bicycle;
- and
- wherein said first receiver member of the second base panel is positioned within said first receiver aperture of the first base panel while the apparatus is in the folded configuration, and said first receiver member of the second base panel is spaced apart from said first receiver aperture of the first base panel while the apparatus is in the extended flat configuration.
The training apparatus of clam 11, wherein the first receiver aperture is configured to accept and mate with the first receiver member when the platform base is positioned in the folded configuration.
A training apparatus for a cyclist, the training apparatus comprising:
- a roller configured to contact a bicycle wheel;
- a platform base positioned below said roller with said platform base comprising a first platform base panel and a second platform base panel pivotally connected to said first platform base panel;
- a first vertical stabilization bar removably mounted to said platform base;
- a second vertical stabilization bar removably mounted to said platform base;
- a horizontal stabilization bar removably mounted to said first vertical stabilization bar and said second vertical stabilization bar, and configured to provide support for the cyclist operating a bicycle;
- a first receiver member protruding above an upper surface of the second platform base panel with said first receiver member configured to temporarily connected with the first vertical stabilization bar;
- a first receiver aperture positioned within the first platform base panel, said first receiver aperture configured to receive said first receiver member when the apparatus is in a folded configuration and said first receiver aperture configured to be spaced apart from said first receiver member when the apparatus is in an extended flat configuration;
- and
- wherein said first platform base panel is configured to fold onto said second platform base panel when the apparatus is transitioning from the extended flat configuration to the folded configuration.
