My left knee...

[Funtboy]

...starting aching not long after I took up cycling. I think it may be the way I am getting on and off my bike.

Anyone else had this?

Do I sound stupid?

Have you get the saddle at the right height, what sort of pedal system are you using ?

Well I think the saddle is okay. I feel very comfortable riding.

Pedal system? Just normal pedals like I had when I was a lad. One on each side; no clips or anything.

When I get off my bike (on the left side) and twist my body as I flip my right leg over, well I reckon I straining something in my left knee as I'm doing it. I may have to try some sort of funky back dismount.

Am I making any sense?
