someone else mentioned it: SPIN! peddle fast! do you have a bike computer with cadence? keep your cadence at 90 or higher (except when going up a hill.. then shift to lower gears to keep it up as high as you can even if you shift to your lowest gear!)

if you are a masher.. that may be a BIG part of your knee issues if it's not fit....
