Hierdoor is er geen externe netspanning nodig, zodat het hometrainersysteem volgens de uitvinding eenvoudig gebruikt kan worden op locaties waar geen netspanning aanwezig is zoals op een parkeerplaats ten 15 behoeve van de warming-up voor een wedstrijd of achterin de tuin van een woonhuis op een plek waar geen netspanning is voorzien.It is furthermore advantageous that in a further aspect the home trainer system according to the invention is characterized in that the brake unit is coupled to a dynamo such that during use the brake unit drives the dynamo, and that the dynamo provides for the power requirement of the brake unit. As a result, no external mains voltage is required, so that the home train system according to the invention can easily be used in locations where no mains voltage is present, such as in a parking space for warming up before a competition or in the back yard of a house at a location where no mains voltage is provided.

Onder omstandigheden kan het voordelig zijn dat de computer van de bedieningsconsole draadloos koppelbaar is met een PC welke voorzien is van een displaymonitor voor geschikte weer-20 gave van actuele gebruiksgegevens van de trainer.Under certain circumstances it may be advantageous for the computer of the control console to be wirelessly connectable to a PC which is provided with a display monitor for suitable display of current usage data of the trainer.

De uitvinding zal in het navolgende verder worden toegelicht aan de hand van een schematische weergave van een uit-voeringsvoorbeeld en onder verwijzing naar de tekening in de vorm van fig. 1.The invention will be further elucidated hereinbelow on the basis of a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment and with reference to the drawing in the form of fig. 1.

25 Fig. 1 toont in een enkele afbeelding dat het hometrai nersysteem een trainerframe 5 omvat dat voorzien is van een instelbare remeenheid 4 op het loopvlak waarvan een fietswiel 3 in wrijvingscontact is geplaatst.FIG. 1 shows in a single illustration that the exercise bike system comprises a trainer frame 5 which is provided with an adjustable brake unit 4 on the running surface of which a bicycle wheel 3 is placed in frictional contact.

Het fietswiel 3 vormt deel van een fiets 2. Op het 30 stuur van de fiets 2 is een bedieningsconsole 1 aangebracht waarin een computer is geïntegreerd. De bedieningsconsole met de computer 1 dienen voor het instellen van een of meer instelpara-meters van de remeenheid 4 respectievelijk het verloop van die instelparameters in de tijd.The bicycle wheel 3 forms part of a bicycle 2. On the handlebar of the bicycle 2, a control console 1 is arranged in which a computer is integrated. The control console with the computer 1 serves to adjust one or more adjustment parameters of the brake unit 4 or the course of those adjustment parameters over time.
