Abstract
A bicycle simulation system that can be easily transported includes a frame, a steering handle operated by a rider, a left-right pair of pedals to be operated by the rider for rotating a flywheel, two front forks for supporting the head tube and a rotatable rear wheel. The rear wheel is grounded on a floor so that it supports the frame, together with the front forks. The bicycle simulation system ensures that the operations of a brake lever are accompanied with the same feeling as that in operating a real bicycle. A brake lever is operated by the rider with a drum brake for frictionally braking the rotation of the flywheel in conjunction with the brake lever. A brake wire extending from the brake lever and is branched into two brake wires, one connected to the drum brake, and the other connected to the rotational sensor.
