If your knees hurt from cycling, there\u2019s no need to carry on suffering.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to help you identify where the discomfort\u2019s coming from, what\u2019s causing it and how to stop it.<\/p>\n

In this article, we look at the areas of the knee where pain might be felt when riding a bike, and the speci\ufb01c conditions that can lead to knee pain when cycling.<\/p>\n

Later we\u2019ll take a close look at the inner workings of the knee, and how cycling overuse injuries can lead to problems that stem from three broad categories.<\/p>\n

All of them will have contributory factors from these three problem domains: changes in training intensity (cycling-speci\ufb01c); changes in equipment (bike-speci\ufb01c); and our intrinsic anatomical and biomechanical make-up (cyclist-speci\ufb01c).<\/p>\n

The key is to identify which of these is most relevant to you and make a change.<\/p>\n

Read on to boost your knee knowledge and banish needling pain.<\/p>\n

Remember the golden rule for cycling knee pain<\/h2>\n

While we can give you some basic strategies for getting out of trouble when plagued by knee pain, the old adage rings true:\u00a0stay out of trouble in the \ufb01rst place.<\/strong><\/p>\n
