Fit's most important for any bike. I'm on the mend from a twisted knee and while my leg wasn't strong enough to resist the pedals when slowing down, my knee wasn't any worse afterwards and actually felt better the next day.
yeah, my kneecap actually came in SERIOUS contact with the side of the truck. i'm mean, someone might as well have just nailed my knee with a baseball bat and call it at that. so i've got serious cartilage damage in there, and i went back to work not long after the crash. bad idea, i have-correction HAD, a very physically demanding job. so i'm still doin phys-therapy stretches and exerscises. yeah, think i might go for a used one, somewhere around 300-400 i'm thinkin.
