It's the peeing up every lamp post that's a problem.

You could stop doing it....maybe get yer prostate tested ;-)

I used to run a lot (up to half marathons) and that knackered my knees (ligaments). I took up cycling about 8? Years ago and have had absolutely zero knee problems.

He was doing that before he got a dog.

If you use clip-in pedals and get the natural angle of your feet wrong, your knees will start to complain within a couple of miles.

It depends on your body mechanics - plenty of non cyclists have dodgy knees - if you knees don't align they will wear out quicker, like a badly hung door - and thats just how we are made. I was having knee pain and the bloke I saw called all his students over to show them how poorly my knees aligned.

The other thing, your knees can be racked with arthritis and you get no pain (thats me !) - other people have nominal arthritis but lots of pain.

In short the bloke was talking bollox !

People who do not exercise will come up with all sorts of reasons why it is bad for you. People who only drive 20 miles a day suffer from weak hearts and muscle wasting disease.

I have knee problems when I don't cycle.
