If anything, riding fixed will help heal knees, IF a person has a good fit with his or her bike.
That is
NOT true whatsoever. Depending on what the cause of the knee issue is, riding a fixed gear(or any bike) can create knee issues, or make prexisting ones worse. Just look at patellofemoral syndrome. It can be caused by tight hamstrings, IT band, and overbuilt quads compared to the VMO. Riding can cause all of those problems.
