That must have been quite a fall! I was never a runner, but I know a lot of them and not being able to run must be difficult. Thank the stars there are bicycles!<br /><br />Karen- If I were buying a new city bike today, I would have to seriously consider an electric assist. When every ride is uphill and you do all of the family shopping, things get tiring very fast. I have tried using lower gearing but I have never been able to really get comfortable with the cadence and find that it can stir up my knee even more, which isn't unusual with the history of my knee.Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-62106716058027533872011-05-03T20:22:53.283-07:002011-05-03T20:22:53.283-07:00I feel a little more creaky after exertion in gene...I feel a little more creaky after exertion in general these days but no debilitating pain yet. (Knock on wood.) My husband, who rides many more miles than I do and nearly every day, has had issues with his knees to the point he could barely ride. He's done a few things: 1) he takes his electric bike a couple times a week to give his knees a break, 2) on his regular bike he rides in lower gears (upped his cadence, similar to the Sheldon Brown article), and 3) when it was really bad, he got some acupuncture. Since having the acupuncture and then being very disciplined about his cadence, his knees haven't been troubling him. Hope your knees heal soon! <br />--Karen (aka taomom)Karen Lynn Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570980995774757572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-67154819070284524472011-05-03T19:09:00.766-07:002011-05-03T19:09:00.766-07:00The article by Sheldon Brown is very interesting -...The article by Sheldon Brown is very interesting - thanks for providing a link to it. I had a bad ski accident a few years ago, where the top of my fibia was broken off. I have had troubles with my knee every since - not fun so I can relate to your issues. I took up bike riding to help me keep fit as running is no longer in the picture!! I hope you are able to find a way to make the pain go away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-57303117303882351282011-05-03T15:49:36.818-07:002011-05-03T15:49:36.818-07:00So sorry to hear that you're not able to move....So sorry to hear that you're not able to move...I know how agonizing it is to be stuck indoors when you want to be on your bike or on your feet. <br /><br />Best of luck with your recovery!
