Hi everyone, new here and just returned to cycling from a lengthy lay off, after suffering Osteoarthritis of the knees my doctor recommended cycling again and after testing the Boardman HYB 8.9 E bike decided to invest.
Hi Retep, seems to be working for my knees as well, my mate suggested changing my pedals to cleats, something I will look into. I went for the Electric Boardman Bike, mainly because we’ve got some nasty hills around us on the edge of the Peak District. My right knee seems to hurt when I confront any hill so just having an assist helps me out.Hi Ralph, I also have osteoarthritis in my knees. I did not listen to doctor for years, returned to cycling a couple of years ago and knees collapse less. I also have a Boardman hybrid and love it. I changed pedals to hybrid cleats also have stem riser on as also have 2 prolapsed and 2 compared discs.
Thanks Postman, not pushing it too much at this stage, just glad I took the Doctors advice, he suggested the Electric bike to help when I needed it.Welcome, take it easy on the knees.I had two Arthur Oscopies around 2003 and now as right as rain.
