I just ran this by my resident mechanic who said from what you've described, your bike seat is too far forward.

To check for the correct seat position - put your cranks parallel to the ground (have the crank arms in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions respectively) while seated on the bike. Obviously you'll need someone to help hold you on the bike or in a trainer. When the seat position is correct, the front edge of your knee will be directly above and plumb to the axle of the pedal.

Generally speaking, pain in the front of the knee usually means that the seat is too far forward - pain behind your knee means that the seat is too far back.

You only need to make a minor adjustment - the seat probably got out of whack from raising and lowering the seat position.

Good Luck!
