Very informative posts! I didn't mean for this to turn into a cadence or knees discussion, but it is very helpful and interesting anyways.Here is my naive question. Let us suppose a cyclist has no discomfort at all in his knees - no soreness, no stiffness, no pain, no twinges or funny sensations, nothing - knees feel like when he was 20 y/o. Can that cyclist assume that those knees are not being damaged by whatever his pedaling practice is? Or can knees get significantly damaged without their owner feeling anything untoward?
I am a big ring rider. I like to feel the resistance in my legs as compared to spinning.
Meet Ben.
His breakfast:
The summer of 2009 he rode cross country in his big 53 T ring. He was 41 y/o and the 20 y/o could not stay with him day after day. 4200 miles, 57 days,
He rode every day every mile.
