Regarding the tandems--he lives alone, and doesn't have anyone to ride with him. I can only visit him on Saturdays, since I'm at school at SF.
If he has really started to experience bradykinesia cycling is probably not the best option. Should he experience the typical difficulty in starting or continuing motion or an inability to adjust his body position, he's at a very high risk of crashing. The unfortunate thing about this is that you can't really predict when bradykinesia will manifest itself and when it won't.
