Does swimming help? Is there a well-heated pool on campus?
Thanks DoW. Yup, different kind of arthritis, mine is from multiple surgeries so the structure of the knee is very different from the original joint. I could deal with the pain just fine if the joint would just flex far enough...I'm going to check with the LBS and see if we can get shorter cranks short and see if that helps.

And you're right about the swimming, I use the Uni pool quite a bit...very comfy!
