Any autoimmunity cyclist riding around here?
Was wondering if cycling regular can help one cope with the crippling deseases associated with autoimmunity, such as fibromyalgia, lupus, or RA?
My wife, as some of you know has rheumatoid arthritis (RA). And for the most part is house bound. I'm thinking maybe a recumbent trike might help her. And it will be a lot lighter then her electric wheelchair to load and unload.

I wish your wife the very best.

I've got a few different autoimmune-related conditions in the household, but none that would help me offer any advice in this case. Maybe the folks in the adaptive cycling forum might have some useful ideas?
