Problems solved by technology

It is so drab for the exerciser to do the body-building with such an exercise apparatus, and the exerciser may hence lose his interests thereon and give it up.
However, conventional exercise bicycles only provide for an indoor exercise.
The exerciser just pedals mechanically without feeling any road condition variation and acquiring any experience in handling such road conditions, which may make the exerciser lose his interests.
In other words, exercising on a conventional exercise bike decreases the desire of the exerciser, and thus hinders the exerciser from developing his physical strength.
In addition, a device for exercising the limbs and torso of the exerciser is disadvantageous in that the rotatable wheel thereof is positioned below the seat, which makes the exerciser fail to keep the balance while exercising.

Embodiment Construction

[0038] The present invention will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments of this invention are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only; it is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.

[0039] Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a perspective view of an exercise apparatus according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The exercise apparatus includes a bicycle frame 10 whose shape is not limited to the disclosed one. The bicycle frame 10 includes a supporting member 11 mounted on a base 13 that is placed on a base surface G. On the bicycle frame 10, a seat 15 is mounted thereon for seating an exerciser, and a control device 20 is pivotally mounted on a first terminal of the bicycle frame 10, so that the exerciser can balance himself therethrough.

[0040] On the control device 20, a swinging ...

Abstract

An exercise apparatus is provided. The exercise apparatus includes a base, a bicycle frame movably mounted on the base and having a seat for seating thereon a user, and a gyratory wheel as well as a swinging unit mounted on the bicycle frame in front of the seat and rotatably mounted on the bicycle frame for balancing the user on the bicycle frame. Through the provided exercise apparatus, the exercise is more interesting, so as to virtually simulate a real bicycle riding.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus, and more particular to an exercise apparatus that virtually simulates a real bicycle riding. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Arts [0004] The conventional exercise bicycles are generally operated by pedaling a rotatable wheel with a variable and adjustable resistance, so as to cause a corresponding amount of the energy consumption for the exerciser. It is so drab for the exerciser to do the body-building with such an exercise apparatus, and the exerciser may hence lose his interests thereon and give it up. However, conventional exercise bicycles only provide for an indoor exercise. The exerciser just pedals mechanically without feeling any road condition variation and acquiring any experience in handling such road conditions, which may make the exerciser lose his interests. In other words, exercising on a conventional exercise bike decreases the desire of the...
