A GTA Parkinson Cycling club<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are the Rigid Riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a group of people living with Parkinson\u2019s Disease who have chosen a different path and decided to fight back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cycle. Cycling has proven health benefits for people living with Parkinson\u2019s Disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our members cover the full range of cycling abilities and many of us have not cycled since we were kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, to the list of reasons why you are not cycling now, we say:
1) Make the time. You are experiencing change and you must adapt.
2) It will hurt more if you don\u2019t manage it. Muscle rigidity, balance, and flexibility may be at risk if not addressed now.
3) It\u2019s free to join. We help with equipment, volunteer coaching and optional spin classes (at a cost).
4) We are a supportive team, and we understand what you are going through.
5) PD can subdue your motivation. Together we motivate each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal: complete a 40-kilometer route in a Pedaling for Parkinson\u2019s Event later in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In preparation, we will train as a team, including indoor spin classes through the winter and outdoor cycling routes in the spring. Spouses and\/or care partners are welcome to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently most active in the GTA. We are looking for eager organizers in other areas. If you think that you may be that organizer, let\u2019s talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find out more or to inquire about joining the team, email us at gorigidriders@gmail.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t delay; we are stronger together, and we want to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
