Cycling stress's the kness with ROTATIONAL LOADING that other activities do not
have. Since this type of loading is unique to cycling you need to pay attention to
how the bike is set up and ,more importantly, how YOU are riding the bike. If you
are a slam go gettum' rider than your whole lower torso is taking a beating. If you
sit a lot while riding then you have damage issues that NEED a doctors attention .....NOW!!

Either way.......
Get your knees checked ASAP as even a minor knee injury can grow into major crap VERY
quickly. Don't play with it, mate. Get thee to a doctor.
