Hi All

I went for a lovely bike ride earlier round a National Trust site. It was Morden Hall Park for those in the know.

Anyway, I haven't cycled for a couple of month due to various reasons but decided this morning I was missing cycling too much so I went for a ride.

After around 15 miles my (dominant) right knee starts to hurt with that generic ache. I'm sure all riders get this at one stage or another.

I suspect the pain is caused by two things:

1- the saddle has dropped/moved
2- My right foot seems to settle at a slightly different angle to my left knee. I use a toe cage.

Luckily an Evan's has opened in Wimbledon so i'll be popping in there at some point.

In the mean time does the collective PH massive have any tips to correct my riding position?

I really wanted to cycle to work tomorrow, but I don't think I should if my knee is hurting me this badly!

I'm actually using a foot cage (made a mistake in my orginal post) I have a feeling the seat has slipped down, i'll raise it and see how that goes!

Thanks guys!
