Bikes: It's the motor, not the bike, right?

Thanks for being here when I got back

I've been unable to commute for the last year because of worsening knee pain. When I finally was able to see a doctor, he said he thought it was patellofemoral syndrome. So I've been doing exercises to strengthen my leg and getting ready to hop back in the saddle. When I started commuting full time a couple of years ago, being able to come here and talk about the joys of commuting was a big part of what got me hooked. And now that I'm getting ready to start again, I came back to the forums and you're still here.

Thanks!

You mean PFPS? I got that from running, not biking, but I self-diagnosed and started using one of those kneecap supports, and the running is coming back strong now. I wish you a speedy and full recovery!
