Biking after knee replacement

"I wonder if there are any BFers who continue to ride after knee replacement - or is that a question I'm not supposed to ask? "

I had a total knee replacement three years ago, and have managed a bike touring trip for a week each spring and fall since then. This spring trip was a particularly hilly area, but my knee worked fine, although I really used my granny gear! Which is OK seeing that I am a real granny at 73. I use my bike for basic transport around town whenever I can, except for the bad part of our Ontario winter. I still have to ride my age this year though.
