He could ride his bike for 20+ miles a day but when he came to visit me this November it was difficult for him to walk. First time I've ever seen him weak physically. They have now stopped using the compression brace and the stimulator but they believe he will still need surgery. So 6 months and he's no better. Hopefully they can figure it out better.

That tells me that long-distance bike riding may be harder on the body than fast walking or swimming. Particularly if the bike is not perfectly fitted to someone. But, it would take a lot of statistical analysis to prove that.
