Abstract: A bicycle trainer adapted to support a conventional bicycle with the front wheel removed. The bicycle is attached to a pivot frame at the front forks and the rear axle. The pivot frame is pivotably attached to the base frame and supported in a substantially upright position by springs. Both the bicycle and pivot frame pivot about an imaginary tire contact-line, which simulates real bicycle riding conditions associated with bicycle sprinting and hill climbing.
