My brother-in-law had a bilateral knee replacement (i.e. both knees at
once) about ten years ago. He's given up running (he was previously a
pretty good marathon runner, probably the reason why both knees were shot),
but he can still cycle without problem. He and my sister are presently
cycling
Richard, I had a total knee replacement 77 days ago (but who's counting?),
so I can't comment on the long-term just yet.
I rode my bike --albeit it my e-cargo bike -- for the first time a couple
of weeks
ago. It felt OK.
For me, it's not the riding. It's the mounting and dismounting that requir
I had TKA a couple of years back and was back on a bike in about a month.
Started very slow, low miles on flat ground. I was up to 15 miles fairly
quickly. I know that the miles on the bike before surgery really was of
help post surgery. Everyone is different so consult with your surgeon and
I'm a PT with about 16 years experience. I treat many folks post-op single
or double knee replacement. You should get back to cycling without concern
or restriction in 3-4 months (you can push it earlier, but most folks find
that the resulting inflammation is not worth it).
A couple of points,
Rode 12 easy, bike path miles 3 weeks post surgery. Maybe should've given
it another week.

No experience with knees but I'm wishing all the best to you, Richard. Let
us know how it goes.

My father in his 70s had his knee replaced last year and was back on a bike
in three months. A stationary bike is a big part of the physical therapy
process.
