My DH and I used to ride our mtn bikes together alot, but then he was diagnosed with pancerabellum syndrome. This has caused him to slowly loose his coordination, caused some speech impediment and has affected his periphial vision some. Needless to say, we don't ride together much. When he rides these days, his main objective is to stay upright on the bike. He falls quite easily, whether on a bike, walking or just standing and really gets down on himself. There is a ride out to the Great Salt Lake that we enjoyed last year, but there has been construction on the road and he is very hesitant to ride. He will take his bike for a short spin around a park when it is very early and not too many people are about. Riding in a group is out. Hopefully when the weather cools and the construction is completed, we will be able to hit the marina road. I have been trying to get him to consider an adult trike, but he doesn't like the image. Maybe one day... He is very supportive of my biking efforts and encourages me in my riding endeavors.
