hiljii, what kind of knee injury did you have?

I've been bike commuting for the last year or so, and then running (summer/fall) or skate skiing (winter/spring) afterward. The main effect I notice is that it takes me longer to get out the door again after biking home because of tired legs or low blood sugar. When I find myself feeling chronically tired/overtrained, I tend to take it easy on the biking part, since I care a lot more about my ability and training as a runner/skier.

As a collegiate runner, I used to get overuse injuries about once a year; now I just wreck myself occasionally playing soccer. No knee problems since college.
