    Abstract: The presently disclosed invention is related to selectively adjustable resistance assemblies and methods of use for bicycles. An example device includes at least one flywheel rotated by a user operating pedals, a resistance assembly associated with the at least one flywheel, the resistance assembly configured to exert a resistance force that counteracts rotation of the at least one flywheel caused by the user using the pedals, a human machine interface that is configured to allow the user to select a first resistance level for the resistance force, a secondary resistance selector that allows the user to select a second resistance level for the resistance force, the second resistance level allowing for refinement of the resistance force, and a controller that selectively controls the resistance assembly to apply the resistance force based on the first resistance level and the second resistance level.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to selectively adjustable speed and incline levels for treadmills. An example treadmill includes a platform around which a belt rotates, a drive motor for controlling a speed of rotation of the belt, a linear motor for controlling an incline of the platform, a human machine interface configured to receive from a user a first selection regarding at least one of the speed of rotation of the belt and the incline of the platform, at least one manual lever configured to receive from the user a second selection to respectively refine the first selection, and at least one controller that selectively changes the speed of rotation of the belt or the incline of the platform based on the first selection received by the human machine interface, and selectively and respectively refines the first selection based on the second selection received by the at least one manual lever.
