I'm very impressed.

I know a few people with MS and other disabilities. They tell me that
cycling is actually easier for them than walking. They're not cycling
over the Pyrenees, but bicycles are a way for them to get some
mobility.

Just amazing.

Interesting. Was his MS caused by his being overweight and previously
sedentary lifestyle? I'm curious as to what the risk factors are for
the disease.

MS can be a hereditary disease like it is in my family.

To the best of my knowledge, neither factor has anything to do with
contracting MS.
