Abstract
A bicycle simulator () is basically constituted by a bicycle pre-arranged for static or pseudo-static use. The bicycle comprises front and rear supports () for resting on the floor () that simulate the contact of the wheels of a normal bicycle on the road. The two supports are preferably constituted by a front supporting wheel () and by a rear supporting wheel () that rest on the floor and support in a freely rotatable way the respective wheel axles (). Rotatably mounted within at least the front supporting wheel is a flywheel (F, F). The front flywheel (F) is set in rotation by a respective electric motor (M) or by a transmission driven by the pedals, for creating a stabilizing gyroscopic effect, which enables the user to maintain his balance when pedaling with the bicycle stationary, resting on the floor via the supporting wheels in a static condition. The crank axle is connected to a driven member, which is independent of said front support () and of said rear support () and is constituted by a rear flywheel or even by the front flywheel itself.
