    摘要: A teaching aid for rotary motion of a pedal-driven wheeled vehicle features an arm configured to span from a lower end thereof positioned at a rotary pedal assembly of the pedal-driven wheeled vehicle in an upwardly and longitudinally inclined orientation to an upper end of the arm positioned at a longitudinally spaced location from the seat of the pedal-driven wheeled vehicle, which upper end is configured for gripping by a user. The aid further features a connector supported on the arm at or adjacent the lower end thereof, which is configured for attaching to the rotary pedal assembly on one side of the vehicle and at a spaced location from an axis of rotation of the rotary pedal assembly such that the arm acts as an extension for the user to drive rotary motion of the rotary pedal assembly by the user's hand.

    摘要: A stationary bicycle is described having walking pole attachments for a pair of walking poles. The walking pole attachments are mechanisms that are attachable and mountable to one or more parts of a handlebar of a stationary bicycle in order to store the walking poles on the stationary bicycle. The walking poles can be mounted and stored vertically on either side of the handlebar of the stationary bicycle or can be mounted and stored horizontally on top of the handlebar of the stationary bicycle so as to be easily accessible to the user of the stationary bicycle while the user is seated on the stationary bicycle and is pedaling. Further, exercises are described that highlight various manners of exercising on the stationary bicycle while using the walking poles in a new form of exercise called pole-biking. Further, attachment mechanisms are attachable to the stationary bicycle for a resistance band.

    摘要: A crank apparatus includes a crank arm having at least one cavity on one of the surfaces of the crank arm, at least one thin material layer embedded within the at least one cavity and having an exposed outer surface, and at least one sensing element attached to the outer surface of the thin material layer. The crank arm is manufactured of a material with non-uniform strain characteristics, the thin material layer is manufactured of a material with uniform strain characteristics, the crank arm is adapted to be deformed by a force, the thin material layer is adapted to be deformed correspondingly with the deformation of the crank arm, the at least one sensing element is adapted to measure the corresponding strain of the thin material layer to measure the force applied on the crank arm. A bicycle and a stationary exercise bicycle equipped with the crank apparatus are further provided.

    摘要: A steering assembly for a mounted bicycle is disclosed herein. The steering assembly includes a support base and at least one omnidirectional roller assembly extending from a bottom surface thereof. The at least one omnidirectional roller assembly is operatively disposed in direct contact with a ground surface and is structured to facilitate movement of the support base along the ground surface in a plurality of different arcuate and linear paths to accommodate varying trail measurements of a bicycle. The varying trail measurements of the bicycle are defined by varying angles of the bicycle relative to the ground surface during operative use of the steering assembly.

    摘要: A bicycle rollers assembly (10) having a rear and a front and further having a rear pair of parallel rollers (12) each having an axis of rotation, and adapted to support a rear bicycle wheel having an axle parallel to the axes of rotation. The rollers (12) are spaced so as to support the rear bicycle wheel with the lowest part of the bicycle wheel positioned between the rollers. Also, a front support structure (18) supports a front bicycle fork support element (24) so as to permit horizontal rotation, and this support element includes a support (26) for each arm of a bicycle fork (29).

    摘要: Provided is a riding posture outputting device that is able to determine a riding posture with accuracy. The riding posture outputting device includes a communication unit which acquires a crank rotation angle θ of a bicycle, and a propulsion force and a loss force which are added to a crank in the crank rotation angle θ, and a determination unit which determines whether a user is dancing on the basis of the crank rotation angle θ when the load calculated from the propulsion force Ft and the loss force Fr is maximized. Then, the communication unit outputs a determination result obtained by the determination of the determination unit.
