As a followup to my original post, I've had my MRI and the verdict is as follows:
- Completely torn PCL
- Grade 1 sprain MCL
- Small radial tear of meniscus
- Partial tear of popliteus muscle
The good news is that I got on a stationary bike and it didn't feel too bad. I think the popliteus is causing me more issues than anything else as it hurts to bend the leg, but it doesn't look like surgery is in the cards.

The severity of the damage isn't known yet but there's very little stability down there so I'm hoping for the best but preparing myself for the worst.
I'm hoping to get some advice on what others have gone through with regards to biking with an injured knee. Have you found that you're able to bike with bad knees? What was harder than before? If you had surgery, how long post-op were you able to get back on the bike?
Thanks y'all!
