The cleat placement looks off-center.
Am I seeing this right?
Wouldn't that stress a knee?

It may be more a function of the length of pedal spindles these days. Maybe it has to be there to avoid bashing you ankle bones on the crank.
Oil is good, grease is better.

That cleat placement is rather odd, but I suppose it would compensate for the narrow-ish stance of standard pedals, vs the wider stance some women need.

Not only that, the cleat placement is farther toward the front of the foot than what you would normally want. Looks odd to me.
