Health Tip for 3/9/2010 - Sports Health

I love to bike on the weekends in the summertime, but lately my knees Have been aching more than I think they should. Dr. Chris Peterson, of The Sports Medicine Clinic says if your knees hurt, there may be something wrong with the relationship between you and your bike.

The key is to make sure your bike fits your body, whether you ride a racing, road or mountain bike. Even if you stretch carefully and warm up before you get on your bike, riding with the wrong configuration can be very painful. A good fitting bike, combined with some solid advice on cycling techniques, can put you ahead of the pack!
