Every time I ride , even just a couple of miles on my converted mountain bike or my Schwinn CrossCut my knees give me fits for several days .
Today I rode my Electra Cruiser 1 , single speed for a couple of miles . It has pedal forward geometry and is supposed to be easier on the knees. I had thought at one time switching frames was what caused my issue .
Feels ok for now .
BTW , I’ve been walking averaging over 10,000 steps a day for the last six months and that hasn’t hurt my knees . Crazy .
I miss riding , although since the doctor has me on a blood thinner, if it’s not over fifty degrees, it’s too cold for this old man to ride .
Hope to get back on a regular ride schedule soon !
