Patrick, Welcome to the forum. I think that you have found an absolutely outstounding place to come and learn about cycling. i know that I had when I stumbled upon the site. I too suffer from neuro problems. I have MS and neuropathy in my hands and feet. Riding my bike has saved my life in many ways, but the emotional freedom that comes with it is perhaps the most priceless. Many sufferers of vertigo and nastagmus can, for some strange reason, still function rather well on a bicycle. Diet and excercise are the best for neuro problems...and what better form of excercise than seeing the world from two wheels? Rivendell and GP gives people like us an outlet with the cushy ride, sitting up high and easy gearing. It's amazing what you have accomplished already..you have a great outlook. You should be proud....Peter G
