Abstract

A resistance adjusting apparatus for an exercise cycle (10) includes a braking mechanism (15) having a braking force dependent upon tension in a cable (24) and an activation unit (34) including means for altering the braking force by altering the length of a path followed by the cable (24) and thereby altering the tension in the cable (24). The braking mechanism may be mountable such that it can apply a frictional force to a flywheel (12) which is rotated by the pedalling of a cyclist. The activation unit (34) is preferably mountable on or near the handlebars of the cycle.
