Patellar tendonitis is harshing my commute.

Anyone else have this über-annoying knee/leg malady? I'm out with two weeks of rest per the doctor... Missing my favorite riding month of leaf changing, perfect temps, and mellow light. Just built a new bike, too!

Thinking about making the switch from straps to clipless pedals because of this. After pushing +2,000 miles on a moderately ratioed singlespeed this summer, I feel like I owe it to my poor knees for more pedal efficiency. I am pretty sure I've been riding with my seat a little too far forward, so I'm pushing it back a bit (tall with a short torso, hard to find the right fitting without reaching for the bars).

Hoping by November I will be back in full gear!

Here's to frozen peas, glucosamine, diclofenac, automobile reliance, traffic, elevators, and pent-up energy not being properly displaced!
