Anybody ever wear one of these while cycling (road)? I need something that will especially not grind away at the back of my knee.

I have not yet worn this while riding but I have worn it for 13 hrs on 2 consecutive days and not felt like it was uncomfortable or cutting off circulation or anything.. The way they do the stitching on the back of the knee seems to make it not bunch as much. Now, the other day I sat in a low chair with no leg room and that wasn't comfortable (I'm 6'2" so my legs were very bent). I had to pull it off. Other than that, no problems. I think it would work great for cycling. Give me a week and I'll probably have taken it out on a ride. In any case, I don't think u can go wrong. It's about as comfortable a brace as I've ever had. Way better than the neoprene ones I've had.

It does pinch behind knee a little with normal wear Would probably not work for cycling.

No but have hiked up steep mountains with step and boulders, etc. and have not had an issue.

I haven't tried to, but it should be fine. Note the back is longer than the front, so it will hang over the butt. Its elastic at the waist, so you can push it up away from the butt, assume you do not put anything in the pockets. It's designed for normal forward riding position while cycling. If you plan to use for both running and cycling, it would be fine. For just running, I would find a normal wind breaker.

To answer your question I would say probably not. I am 5'6" tall and the extra-large pair of shorts fall just to the top of my knees when I'm standing. When I'm on the bike the shorts ride about 2 inches above my knee so the shorts aren't long enough to chafe the back of my knee. You could probably hem the outer short but the liner has an elastic band to keep it tight around your legs. I think it would be difficult to hem the liner and possibly uncomfortable to wear it if you did . The liner is about an inch shorter than the outer shorts and depending how much you hemmed the shorts you would probably see the liner if you didn't hem it. I hope this helps you in your decision.

I didn't realize there were five different "kneedits". However, when making my decision, i tried a few on at a sporting goods store, watched and read a bunch of online content, and understood the mechanics of my personal knee issue. None of them are going to work like magic, but i will say this: after wearing mine during leg workouts, stopping because i didnt feel they were as effective as described, experiencing the pain come back, wearing them again and realizing that they do work (just not 100%), i decided they are a decent product.

Recommendation from a friend with a similar knee problem. The one I chose has been great. The only complaint I have is that periodically the cushion on the back of my knee moves and then the strap rubs the skin.

This is a great seat! I have one on all 3 bicycles and one tandem. With this seat you sit on your sit bones and nothing else. There is no pressure anywhere there shouldn't be! I got it because with a regular seat my entire groin area went numb and hurt very bad. I no longer have that problem. and I ride a lot of miles every week! I would suggest you talk to your doctor about it. He would know better about things like that. All I know is I will never go back to a regular seat.

Absoltely not. The bag sits lower than your thighs - more at knee level - but it does not rub against your knees either. It is not a concern. The bag is as wide as or maybe a bit larger, depending on your frame, as the top tube of your bike. It does not get in your way. However, I would recomend a back of saddle bag instead if you do not have many things to carry, as the bag kind of clutters up the look of the bike. If you are not concerned about that, it's a great bag!

I did not encounter this issue on my Canondale Synapse. What i DID however find and you should be aware of is that when "standing" and pedaling it interferes greatly by rubbing against your knees and just making it awkward. I took mine off since I do a lot of hilly rides.

I wouldn't recommend these for bike riding, I would recommend Harbinger wrist guards for that. And these typically run one size small; so I usually wear a small glove, but I wear a medium in these wrist guards (and they're snug). They are super durable though if you think your going to be falling off your bike lol :)

For me it was just comfortable. No cushion can make up for the poor design of most saddles on stationary bikes. This is nowhere near the comfort of a great road bike saddle.

when i purchased my knee walker, the options included purchasing a basket . I did not, thinking I could find a bicycle basket. didn't find one at the local chain stores, maybe you need to try a bike store. the online company still sells the basket, along with a cover for the "seat" - suggest you consider that - knee and shin get very tender after several weeks.

You could wear it while biking, if you want an extra workout. Breathing is restricted, and I don't know how well the thing will stay on with the bumps in the road or sweat.

I have not used it for cycling but it is the most comfortable protector I have worn.

I haven't biked or hiked with it..but I do wear it on my 1 mile walk to work and I have traveled with it. Super comfortable and easy to wear. I would hike with it though.

Yes very much so!! It is comfortable and wearable for support during activities that may produce strain on the knee. I wear it when I exercise and when I'm working for stability which protects from further damage. Get one or two you won't be sorry!!!

I did worn it and seem fitting fine.. It did little warm and loose fitted fine.. No problem with it. I am glad I worn it for my bicycle safety.

It is comfortable for short distances. I ended up replacing it with this one: Retrospec Bicycles Saddle Fixed Gear Single Speed Fixie Urban Road Bike (Black, One Size)
