You can still ride your bike

The man had had Parkinsons disease for 10 years, and it had
progressed until he was severely affected. Parkinsons, a neurological disorder
in which some of the brain cells that control movement die, had made him unable
to walk. He trembled and could walk only a few steps before falling. He froze in
place, his feet feeling as if they were bolted to the floor. But the man told Dr. Bloem something amazing: he said he was a regular exerciser
a cyclist, in fact something that should not be possible for patients at his
stage of the disease, Dr. Bloem thought. He said, Just yesterday I rode my bicycle for 10 kilometers six miles, Dr.
Bloem said. He said he rides his bicycle for miles and miles every day.
