Does cycling damage your knees?

Riding too long or too fast may cause some damage to the knee.
During cycling, the knee joint will frequently flex and extend, and it is easy to form wear and tear over time, leading to degeneration of the cartilage and the surrounding tissue structure, and the knee joint is prone to pain and unfavorable activities.
During cycling, if the speed is relatively fast and the warmth measures are not enough, it is easy to get cold. Once cold, it will affect the blood circulation of the knee joint, resulting in the slowing down of the venous return, and the localization is prone to strain, degeneration and inflammation, which will also lead to knee pain and unfavorable activities.
To avoid long-distance cycling, maintain a reasonable speed and avoid excessive speed. When riding uphill, take more breaks in between to minimize damage to the knee. Consult a medical professional for specific advice.
