Abstract

The simulation system comprises a bicycle or motorcycle of conventional appearance, combined with a computer and video display. It allows the user to control the video display in response to pedalling or throttle position as well as braking and steering. Furthermore means are provided to allow the user to perform a 'wheelie' and to lean the cycle from side to side. In addition the computer may be connected to a motor to simulate changing road conditions such as uphill and downhill gradients.
