spinning, easy spin , low gearing so your not torquing much power through the joint. This will allow the joint to lubricate, and the muscles to strengthen without putting undue stress on the knee itself. Opposite of spinning would be mashing a big gear which can leave a rider with sore knees after getting off the bike. Again check with an actual sports doc, all injuries are different but cycling is generally recommended for knee recovery.

Says the lad with holes in the knee joint and back of kneecap due to skateboarding kneecap dislocation after 25 years of skating.

As huerro said... gears might be your best friend until healed. (Depending on your geography).. or flip/flop SS/fixed
