i've been doing a lot lately and can't tell if it's bad for the knees. my knees seem a little worked after a ride.

Less impact than running; you're not striking concrete/asphalt with each downward motion. Congrats on the exercising, too.

Not patronizing; I'm envious you have the time to go biking right now. Lord knows I'd rather be doing that than essays and MBE qs.

I also think it's important in light of your donutthreading.

It isn't too bad if you are fitted properly. A good starting point is going to a bike store and having them do it, but I found that using just what the bike store did was still resulting in some soreness. I made some tweaks of my own, and now don't have any problems.

it can be bad for your knees if the seat is too low. your knees should never go above your hips.

How do you think the poor bike feels, a-hole?

try adjusting the height of the seat. it will change the straing on your knee to some extent.

Or better yet, he should just take the seat off.
