Abstract:
1. A bicycle trainer for use with a bicycle having a driven wheel, comprising: a frame; a resistance arrangement interconnected with the frame; and a wheel mounting arrangement associated with the frame for securing the bicycle wheel to the frame, wherein the wheel mounting arrangement comprises first and second spaced apart wheel mount portions, wherein at least the first wheel mount portion includes an internally threaded actuator member rotatably interconnected with the frame, an externally threaded wheel engagement member, wherein the external threads of the threaded wheel engagement member are engaged with the internal threads of the threaded actuator member, and an axial guide arrangement associated with the first wheel mount portion and acting on the wheel engagement member for guiding axial movement of the wheel engagement member, wherein the guide arrangement restricts rotation of the wheel engagement member and wherein rotation of the threaded actuator member cooperates with the axial guide arrangement to cause extension and retraction of the threaded wheel engagement member by engagement of the internal threads of the threaded actuator member and the external threads of the threaded wheel engagement member, so as to move the threaded wheel engagement member toward and away from the second wheel mount portion to enable a bicycle wheel to be clamped between the second wheel mount portion and the threaded wheel engagement member.
