Abstract

A balance board platform having a shape that generally conforms to and encompasses the bicycle geometry necessary to maintain an offset stance. The balance board platform builds balance for cyclists while providing visual cues for foot placement. The balance board platform may be used with or without a balance structure.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A balance board platform comprising,
 a platform body, the platform body having a substantially planar top platform surface and a substantially planar bottom platform surface axially spaced from the substantially planar top platform surface, the platform body having a first longitudinal arm with a first longitudinal arm length approximately equal to or longer than a span between a right pedal spindle and a left pedal spindle of a preselected bicycle, a second longitudinal arm with a second longitudinal arm length approximately equal to or longer than the span between the right pedal spindle and the left pedal spindle of said preselected bicycle and a transverse arm;   the transverse arm having a transverse arm width approximately equal to or wider than a Q-factor of said preselected bicycle, the transverse arm disposed at a substantially right angle between the first and second longitudinal arms, at least a portion of the transverse arm disposed at a transverse axis.   
     
     
         2 . The balance board platform of  claim 1 , wherein a first longitudinal arm forward edge and a second longitudinal arm forward edge are in substantial alignment with each other. 
     
     
         3 . The balance board platform of  claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal arm length and the second longitudinal arm length are approximately equal. 
     
     
         4 . The balance board platform of  claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal arm length and the second longitudinal arm length is approximately 25.5 inches. 
     
     
         5 . The balance board platform of  claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal arm has a first longitudinal arm width and the second longitudinal arm has a second longitudinal arm width. 
     
     
         6 . The balance board platform of  claim 5 , wherein the first longitudinal arm width and the second longitudinal arm width are approximately equal. 
     
     
         7 . The balance board platform of  claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal arm width and the second longitudinal arm width is approximately 5.25 inches. 
     
     
         8 . The balance board platform of  claim 1 , wherein the transverse arm width is approximately 6.25 inches. 
     
     
         9 . The balance board platform of  claim 1 , wherein the transverse arm length is approximately 11.25 inches. 
     
     
         10 . A balance board platform comprising,
 a platform body, the platform body having a substantially planar top platform surface and a substantially planar bottom platform surface axially spaced from the substantially planar top platform surface, the platform body having a first longitudinal arm with a first longitudinal arm length approximately equal to or longer than a span between a right or left pedal spindle and a center spindle of a preselected bicycle, a second longitudinal arm with a second longitudinal arm length approximately equal to or longer than the span between the right or left pedal spindle and the center spindle of said preselected bicycle and a transverse arm;   the transverse arm having a transverse arm width approximately equal to or wider than a Q-factor of said preselected bicycle, the transverse arm disposed at a substantially right angle between the first and second longitudinal arms, at least a portion of the transverse arm disposed at a transverse axis.   
     
     
         11 . The balance board platform of  claim 10 , wherein the first longitudinal arm length is approximately 16.375 inches. 
     
     
         12 . The balance board platform of  claim 10 , wherein the second longitudinal arm length is approximately 20.375 inches. 
     
     
         13 . The balance board platform of  claim 10 , wherein the first longitudinal arm and the second longitudinal arm have a predetermined width. 
     
     
         14 . The balance board platform of  claim 10 , wherein the first longitudinal arm width and the second longitudinal arm width are approximately equal. 
     
     
         15 . The balance board platform of  claim 10 , wherein the first longitudinal arm width and the second longitudinal arm width is approximately 5.25 inches. 
     
     
         16 . The balance board platform of  claim 10 , wherein the transverse arm width is approximately 6.25 inches. 
     
     
         17 . The balance board platform of  claim 10 , wherein the transverse arm length is approximately 11.25 inches. 
     
     
         18 . A balance board comprising,
 a platform body, the platform body having a substantially planar top platform surface and a substantially planar bottom platform surface axially spaced from the substantially planar top platform surface, the platform body having a first longitudinal arm with a first longitudinal arm length, a second longitudinal arm with a second longitudinal arm length, and a transverse arm;   the transverse arm disposed at a substantially right angle between the first and second longitudinal arms, at least a portion of the transverse arm disposed at a transverse axis, the transverse arm having transverse arm width and a transverse arm length, the transverse arm length being less than either the first or second longitudinal arm length;   a balance structure disposed on the bottom platform surface, at least a portion of the balance structure disposed at a transverse axis.   
     
     
         19 . The balance board of  claim 18 , wherein the first longitudinal arm length is approximately equal to or longer than a span between a right pedal spindle and a left pedal spindle of a preselected bicycle. 
     
     
         20 . The balance board of  claim 18 , wherein the second longitudinal arm length is approximately equal to or longer than a span between a right pedal spindle and a left pedal spindle of a preselected bicycle.
