I do know that exercise is claimed to be only good for Parkinson's and I feel my exercise program has helped.
I would stick at the cycling and as he gets fitter the tremors may become less, (assuming he was relatively unfit, which may be a wrong assumption).
Trixiedee, as for the original query, I remember a thread about a year ago which defined a number of Parky profiles and there response characteristics. See the link below, it may be of some help.

Thanks for that Neil.
At the moment he is "resting" from the exercise bike to see if his tremors lessen. It's only been three days since he last used it, and so far the tremors haven't subsided at all.
I just hate the thought that the tremors are getting progressively worse.
We walk at least 2 miles daily, and for 68 he is pretty fit, so I'm keen for him to keep up the cycling. As you rightly say, I have only read good can come from exercise.
