I’m 55. Got my first road bike at 45, and total knee replacement at 52. Right knee was degenerative and bone on bone from four knee surgeries in my 20s (basketball). I am now biking more than ever before because I took a new job and can now commute by bike (8-12 miles each way depending on the day). Hoping to start a discussion among those of us with joint replacements.

My replaced knee will never be like a normal knee but in general it works fine. I can do 60 mile road rides on weekends, plus the commute, etc. The only issue I am having is I cannot pedal up out of the saddle. Some weird twist/torque thing happens on the top of the stroke with my right leg, and it hurts like heck. My wife thinks I am just scared and if I keep trying I’ll get it. She might be right.....

Anyway I miss being able to climb up out of the saddle and power up a hill sometimes.

is anyone else biking with a tkr? Anyone else having issues like this?
