摘要：A bicycle simulator (1) is basically constituted by a bicycle pre-arranged for static or pseudo-static use. The bicycle comprises front and rear supports (13, 14) for resting on the floor (12) that simulate the contact of the wheels of a normal bicycle on the road. The two supports are preferably constituted by a front supporting wheel (13) and by a rear supporting wheel (14) that rest on the floor and support in a freely rotatable way the respective wheel axles (3, 11). Rotatably mounted within at least the front supporting wheel is a flywheel (F1, F2). The front flywheel (F1) is set in rotation by a respective electric motor (M) or by a transmission driven by the pedals, for creating a stabilizing gyroscopic effect, which enables the user to maintain his balance when pedaling with the bicycle stationary, resting on the floor via the supporting wheels in a static condition. The crank axle is connected to a driven member, which is independent of said front support (13) and of said rear support (14) and is constituted by a rear flywheel or even by the front flywheel itself.

主权项：1. bicycle simulator: comprising: a bicycle structure, including: a bicycle frame,a rear-wheel axle carried by the bicycle frame,a crank axle carried in a rotatable way by the bicycle frame and provided with cranks and corresponding pedals,a head tube carried by the bicycle frame and a steering shaft rotatably mounted in the head tube and carrying a fork, anda front-wheel axle carried by the fork; a front support and a rear support for supporting the bicycle simulator on a floor, said front and rear supports being associated, respectively, to the front-wheel axle and to the rear-wheel axle, and each of said supports having a portion of contact with the floor shaped in such a way as to simulate contact between a road and a wheel of a bicycle; at least one front flywheel rotatably mounted on said front-wheel axle; and motor means associated to said front flywheel for setting it in rotation in order to create a stabilizing gyroscopic effect; said crank axle being designed to impart a rotation on a driven member, which is independent of said front support and said rear support; and wherein said front and rear supports include front and rear static wheels, respectively, provided for resting on the floor.
