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:

Just
$15 for 30 minutes or $25 for an hour!  Donations also accepted!

Thanks!
