if you are a masher.. that may be a BIG part of your knee issues if it's not fit....
Well, I rode today (with a lady off the board in fact!), and I was SPINNING... I kept in the LOWEST GEAR 90% of the time. I would only knock it up a gear if I was spinning too fast, and I was bouncing (typically down a hill).

By mile 20 I had really bad knee pain again. Now, I did let my knee rest for 3 days... before riding again. And today, I averaged about 12 MPH.

I might get a candence sensor... maybe that will help?

I just don't know if I should stay off it a week... or keep riding... I do have the MS 150 coming up in 15 days... and I need to be ready for it! And I need to get how to peddal down BEFORE that!

UUUGGGGGGHHHH..... this is so frustrating.

PS- The knee pain only happens ON the bike. If I get off the bike and run, my knee is FINE!
