Default rebounder anyone?
Somewhere along the line, I read something Dr. Lieberman wrote suggesting that the little trampolines called "Rebounders" are particularly good for PD. Has anyone had experience with them?

They would differ from a bike in several ways but one in particular would be that they "jiggle your innards". According to a book I'm reading called "The Second Brain" (about the nerves controlling the GI system), such jiggling causes a flood of several neurotransmitters which could account for a lot.
