I am a 73-year-old that made a living as a plumber for 42 years. Lots of kneeling on concrete and working on ladders so I wear a firm compression knee sleeve on my left knee. If I let my knees splay out and do not keep my knee over my feet when I am done with my ride, 20 miles or better, my knee will hurt for days. I ride large flat pedals so I am constantly checking where my foot is on the pedal to keep a constant for saddle height and toe point and knee over foot. Thinking that clipless will give me a constant as far as foot placement but my concern is release. I have the old cage style and have fallen unable to get my foot clear and down fast enough. I ride a Cannondale Topstone gravel bike on the pavement. I ride a gravel bike as it is a relaxed geometry and not as upright as a hybrid which I also have.
Thanks in advance, Frank.
Old photo and I know the bars are "wrong" but need to have it this way because of my arthritis.
