I realize that this thread was started almost 5 years ago but...
When starting back into bicycling it's a good hing to stat by pedaling lightly for a while = each ride and also for the first few weeks. I've read that it's good to put just enough pressure on the pedals to turn the cranks that is keep the pressure very light.
Also. If a person experiences pain and can do so it's a great thing if they can see a SPORTS MEDICINE doctor. I ay that because years ago i had some issues whilst riding up hills and my family doctor told me to take time off the bike. I saw a sports medicine doctor and she identified the problem and her treatment for it still allowed me to ride.
Cheers
