Abstract
A bicycle exercising apparatus which allows the user to place the rear wheel of a bicycle therein for stationary pedaling exercise. The apparatus supports the rear wheel of the bicycle and does not require the removal of the front wheel. The frame of the apparatus forms a support to the rear axle of the rear wheel, and an adjustable load mechanism, including a fly wheel and a wind cage, provides a resistance against the pedaling force of the user. The elements of the frame may be pivotally connected such that the frame is collapsable for ease of transportation and storage.
