Knee injury cycling is a very ideal exercise for the knee.
Doctors will also recommend people with bad knees to exercise by cycling.
This is because cycling basically does not bear any pressure on the knee.
Under normal circumstances, it will not be impacted by external forces, and its extension range is also within the normal range of activity of the knee.
However, research shows that if riders do not operate properly, their knees will also be injured.

After knee injury, if you can move, you still need to maintain a reasonable amount of exercise; Don’t use gears with too large transmission speed ratio and hard pedaling; On the self-locking pedal, it can correct your incorrect pedal way and protect your knees; When it is cold, the human body sends blood back to the heart, and the blood circulation at the joints decreases.
