Riding an indoor, stationary bicycle has been shown to reduce Parkinson's motor symptoms by as much as 35%. And it's something almost anyone with Parkinson's can do.

February 11, 2022 - As the COVID crisis seems to be easing, Pedaling for Parkinsons host facilities across the country are slowly reopening and resuming classes.
