Sizing Fit Cycle

Abstract

A modular sizing fit cycle, having an enclosed, acoustically dampened transmission, and calibrated height and angle adjusters, each designed to fit an individual to a bicycle according to specific measurements attained during a controlled ride. The sizing fit cycle is highly portable, having distinct pieces that facilitate portability. Additionally, the sizing fit cycle is preferably equipped with a quiet, chain and belt-driven transmission at the rear, facilitating accurate measurements via a load generator and providing a realistic simulation of a stable cycling session.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A sizing fit cycle, comprising:
 two pedals;   at least one handlebar;   a seat;   a base configured to receive said two pedals, said at least one handlebar, and said seat; and   a transmission.   
     
     
         2 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one lift attached to said base. 
     
     
         3 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one sliding mechanism attached to said base. 
     
     
         4 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one leveling screw. 
     
     
         5 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 1 , wherein said transmission has a load generator. 
     
     
         6 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one flywheel. 
     
     
         7 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 1 , further comprising a calibrated measuring strip. 
     
     
         8 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 2 , further comprising at least one sliding mechanism attached to said base. 
     
     
         9 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 2 , further comprising at least one leveling screw. 
     
     
         10 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 2 , wherein said transmission has a load generator. 
     
     
         11 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 2 , further comprising at least one flywheel. 
     
     
         12 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 2 , further comprising a calibrated measuring strip. 
     
     
         13 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 3 , further comprising at least one leveling screw. 
     
     
         14 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 3 , wherein said transmission has a load generator. 
     
     
         15 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 3 , further comprising at least one flywheel. 
     
     
         16 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 3 , further comprising a calibrated measuring strip. 
     
     
         17 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 4 , wherein said transmission has a load generator. 
     
     
         18 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 4 , further comprising at least one flywheel. 
     
     
         19 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 4 , further comprising a calibrated measuring strip. 
     
     
         20 . The sizing fit cycle of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 at least one lift attached to said base;   at least one sliding mechanism attached to said base;   at least one leveling screw;   wherein said transmission has a load generator;   at least one flywheel; and   a calibrated measuring strip.
