I am a 66 year old 230 lb. , six time marathoner with bone on bone arthritis in my knees. I rode my Giant hybrid last summer quite a bit and enjoyed it very much. We did one 100 miler through Canada (with an overnight! ) and I regularly rode 20 and 30 milers along the Niagara River and Erie Canal.
I am trying to hold off knee replacement surgery and still be able to ride this season. Any ideas for a new bike that would be easier on my knees would be appreciated. Another but better hybrid, fitness hybrid , road bike or perhaps a recumbent. These are all bikes I am considering. Thank You for the vine. Good biking to everyone !
