Cycling training device

Abstract

Device ( 1 ) for cycling training that comprises a bicycle which can be integral with the device or not, a support ( 2 ), a drive system ( 3 ) and a pendulum ( 6 ) that joins the support ( 2 ) to the drive system ( 3 ). In the device, the pendulum ( 6 ) is rotationally attached to the support ( 2 ) by an upper end ( 2 a ) by the upper end ( 6 a ) of the pendulum ( 6 ), and this allows the swinging motion of the bicycle with the cyclist on it. The device ( 1 ) further comprises actuators ( 9 ), which extend from a lower end ( 6 b ) of the pendulum ( 6 ) to a base ( 2 b ) of the support ( 2 ), and are responsible for damping the swing. At the same time, the drive system ( 3 ) is also rotationally connected to the lower end ( 6 b ) by an upper part ( 3 a ) of the drive system ( 3 ) and to the support ( 2 ) by means of a guide mechanism ( 15 ) through a lower part ( 3 b ) of the drive system ( 3 ).
