[RBW] Re: New member confession.
Thanks for sharing your story and the info about Pedaling for PD, David. I'm not sure what kind of computer you're using, but some now have a talk to text function that can be enabled if that would make things simpler for you? I for one would be happy to help list things for you if after trying it gets to be too bothersome. be well! - Drew On Monday, June 19, 2023 at 5:33:33 PM UTC-4 dalin...@gmail.com wrote: > Thank you all.

Thank you all. You may find it interesting that forced exercise such as cycling is being studied as a way to slow the progression of PD.. Dr Jay Albert at the Cleveland Clinic has the Pedaling for PD program. He started putting the patients on a tandem and had the captain push the stoker patient harder than they would normally do on their own. NOw he is using gear driven bikes .How hard you need to ride remains to.be seen. At least it is something worth trying. I have several bikes that this group might find of. interest. I'll post them over the next few days. It may take me awhile. I am finding that typing is difficult and very frustrating due to my PD. Thanks again.

David, sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you can continue to ride for longer than you think you will but understand your concerns as I have seen friends with Parkinson’s and how each person seems to have different challenges. Good luck with your sale, try to keep one for as long as you can.

Welcome!! Sorry to hear you’re slowing down, but glad you’re just slowing down (30 minutes can be a decent ride). Keep pedaling until the tires fall off! And by chance are you very very very tall?
