  1. I ride about 4 times a week, 3 x 30km rides and one 80km ride.
    I am getting sore knees, but not on my knee, jusy above them.
    Any ideas as too why.
    Seat height maybe.?
    Thanks

    Soreness just above the knee usually indicates your saddle is too low. That
    means at the top of the stroke knee flexion is increased and so your quads
    have to work harder to force that leg down. What you're feeling is the
    result of that extra strain. Raising the saddle to its proper height will
    decrease knee flexion at the top of the stroke so your leg will be
    relatively straighter, your quads won't have to work quite so hard and you
    won't get sore in that area.
