[User19783]

I listened to a very interesting show this morning on the world service,
I enclose a link, hopefully it will work.

I've tried to open the link on my mobile,
But no joy?
Will try later on the pc.

Is it saying that cycling is helpful for people with Parkinson's? I met a women a few weeks ago and she told me her husband has Parkinson's and has taken up cycling since his diagnoses. He was finding it beneficial especially as he'd had to give up long distance walking.

Fascinating. Must pedal faster!

BTW, this is the direct link - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p036gg2v
Your link goes to an 18 minute excerpt of ''The why factor'' about why we love the bike.

They did say, there is a 5 year trail , but for only 100 people ?
I wish them luck , i hope it works ,much better than taking drugs.

Thank you for sorting it out for me,
i found listing to the programme at 03:30 was very overwhelming, very positive.

Actually, the Parkinson's bit is contained within the whole Why Factor link, so very worth a listen.
