Pedaling for Parkinson's Glow Ride

Help us raise money for Parkinson's Research! Everybody who rides gets a free t-shirt and is guaranteed to have a blast! Please help us spread the word! 

LeanRyde is in the works with Pedaling for Parkinson's to become a satellite program location where people who have Parkinson's can come and ride to alleviate their symptoms. The Washington Post featured an article discussing preliminary studies where after eight weeks of cycling three times a week at a pace high enough to break a sweat and raise the heart rate, some patients can recoup much of their mobility for nearly four weeks. After that, gains disappear unless the patient resumes exercising. While it cannot cure Parkinson’s, high-cadence exercise shows promise for countering, even delaying, the inability to move that the disease causes. 

All funds raised will go to Pedaling for Parkinson's:
