Increased Cardiovascular Health
Cycling is a great way to improve heart health and overall fitness, which can be particularly beneficial for people with Parkinson's, helping to increase energy levels and endurance.
Improved Mood and Cognitive Function
The aerobic exercise involved in cycling releases endorphins, which can boost mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It may also help in slowing cognitive decline associated with Parkinson's.

Pedaling helps keep joints flexible and maintains a healthy range of motion, which can combat the stiffness often experienced with Parkinson's.
