Claim Text:
1. Stationary training bicycle, comprising; a pedal crank mechanism, which is coupled via a transmission to a flywheel, a magnetic braking device, which interacts with the flywheel and is variable in its braking action, and a computing device having assigned display device, wherein a calibration table is stored in the computing device, containing a plurality of defined braking device settings, to which reference rundown times of the flywheel, which is not loaded via the pedal crank mechanism, relating to the speed reduction from a first speed to a second speed are assigned, wherein for the calibration the actual rundown time of the flywheel at a given target setting of the braking device is ascertained at least once by means of a measuring device or the computing device and, on the basis of the measured actual rundown time, by comparison to the reference rundown times, the actual setting of the braking device specific for the rundown time is determined and, if actual setting and target setting do not correspond, information relating to the actual setting can be output on the display device, and wherein power values that a training person has to apply for defined brake device settings and defined rotational speeds to drive the flywheel are stored in the calibration table and the computing device is configured to automatically determine an instantaneous applied power as a function of a currently selected brake device setting and a current rotational speed based on the stored power values.
