Is biking bad for the knees?



Especially when I push hard against the pedals to go uphill, I feel a slight pressure in my knees. Just wondering if I can destroying my knees for the years to come. Thanks.

biking is a relatively low impact exercise, especially when compared to running. you might want to talk to a doctor or personal trainer about the potential for knee injury and to learn the proper form for riding a bike.
not really i like biking
I have had knee problems since i was 15 and the doctors told me to avoid high impact exercise such as running and cycling. There is a pressure on the joint as you push the foot down on the peddal which can make it feel like it needs to click? There are some exercises that you can do to strengthen the muscles in the thighs which hold/support the knee... the doctor/physio can give you these. If you are looking for an alternative cardio exercise then swimming has no impact on the joints, or there are new no-impact machines that you can use in the home. Good luck.
