 Riding is My Ritalin 
Good article in Bicycling magazine about the use of exercise instead of drugs to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) entitled Riding is My Ritalin. Thirty years ago studies were conducted that showed the positive effects of using exercise as a treatment for ADHD but those studies never received much publicity. The article notes that the leading ADHD advocacy group has received support from Ciba-Geigy, makers of Ritalin.
