Knees #601574 05/08/2021 8:24 PM

When I ride, my knees are giving me problems. They've been going down hill for the last couple years. I've been nursing them along, I wear a brace when needed, and yet riding seems to annoy them. I suspect my trouble involves the feet forward riding position.

I'm an old guy - going on 72. Bought my first scoot in '69, first trumpy in '70. Not having any other ride related problems - reaction time, balance, etc., I have no desire to give it up. I know someday I'll have to, but...

I wonder if it would help to go back to the original foot pegs. Or get a bike with center pegs like a bonnie. Anybody have any experience with knee issues other than surgery or quitting? Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Yeah I can relate. My knees don't like me much any more either. Staying in one position in general kinda bugs them but after a bit on a bike, it takes me a few steps to get them sorted out again.
