Hi, I’m Kat! I used to cycle once upon a time, but gave it up because the position hurt my back and my knees too much. So now I just hike.

Welcome to the forum 🙂

Most people I know start cycling to help their knees.

Have you ever considered a e-bike?

I’ve thought about it, but they’re super heavy!! We have to load everything to get to the trails and the e-bikes would just be too much weight.

You could get a kit to convert an existing traditional bike to an e-bike. The weight isn’t that bad on those.
