    I cringe watching someone struggling to turn the pedals when they are riding a multi geared bike.

    Cycling is good for the knees, if you’re not staining to turn the pedals. That’s why gearing exists.

    Use the gears to make the pedaling easier.

      Also to add, the seat height should be adjusted such that your leg is just under full extension when on the pedal at its lowest point. Otherwise you are wasting a ton of power with every stroke, and will feel it in your knees much quicker.

      O yes. If you have problems, shift down, pedal faster. Everything above 70 pedal turns per minute is good for your knees. Everything below is bad
