That Jogging is exactly the same as me- I never Jog or even break into a canter. Any sideways strain on the knee joint and it will be agony for several days after.

Will has proved it and I can confirm it. Even if you have a joint problem- You can exercise on a bike without any fear- but the other warning Will gives of too high a gear is also a factor.
I wish to share some good news.
I have trained for two months at a rate of 70 to 100 miles per day at 17 MPH in Florida on a trail.
Next I went up North and could only do trainer biking. Again 17 MPH but only 30 to 50 miles per day.
BTW, that produced a HR of 125 to 135.
As of today, I am back in FL doing trail biking.
I am so happy to report that the same HR 125 to 135 produces now a average speed of above 18 MPH.
I did not expect it but love it.
