Bicycle trainer
A bicycle trainer for removably loading a bicycle with at least a back wheel, where the bicycle trainer comprises a floorstanding frame with a wheel supporting roller at a rear end and a fork supporting unit at a front end, wherein the fork supporting unit is pivotally supported by the floorstanding frame enabling the fork supporting unit to move, where the fork supporting unit and the floorstanding frame connect to each other with a hinge enabling movement of the fork supporting unit in a longitudinal direction of the floorstanding frame, wherein the fork supporting unit is spring-loaded with a spring at or near the hinge to provide the fork supporting unit with a preferential upright position at right angles with the floorstanding frame such that whenever the bicycle is moved, said bicycle returns to an average position on the bicycle trainer with the fork support unit perpendicular to the floorstanding frame.
1. A bicycle trainer for removably loading a bicycle with at least a back wheel, where the bicycle trainer comprises a floorstanding frame with a wheel supporting roller at a rear end and a fork supporting unit at a front end, wherein the fork supporting unit is pivotally supported by the floorstanding frame enabling the fork supporting unit to move back-and-forth, characterized in that the fork supporting unit and the floorstanding frame connect to each other with a hinge enabling back-and-forth movement of the fork supporting unit in a longitudinal direction of the floorstanding frame, wherein the fork supporting unit is spring-loaded with a spring at or near the hinge to provide the fork supporting unit with a preferential upright position at right angles with the floorstanding frame such that whenever the bicycle is moved forward or backward, said bicycle is biased by said spring to return to an average position on the bicycle trainer wherein the fork support unit is at right angles with the floorstanding frame.
