I didn't bike back then, but I never really had problems with doing anything that taping didn't support my knee.

When I was going to an orthopedic surgeon and PT several years ago for a patella tracking issue, the doctor said I could try the taping, and the PT taped my knee several times so I could try it out. I decided I didn't need it, but the plan was that if I wanted to do it regularly the PT would sell me a kit and show me how to do it myself. And the clear purpose of the taping was to support my knee during long bike rides.
