Hello all, just turned 52, from South Yorkshire, looking forward to getting back out on two wheels albeit assisted. Had a motorcycle accident several years since that caused multiple ligament injury to my right knee. Just got a good deal on a new Trek Rail 7 gen 3 for a little over 3.5k, probably overkill bike wise for my abilities but I’m sure my knee will thank me for it Hoping to get as bike fit as I can again and get some moderate trail riding in, cheers!

Welcome to the site and enjoy the new ride

After a while, your knee may feel as though it's getting better (at everything, not just biking). That will be due to you putting less stress on it as you ride, giving the knee more time to heal.

Cheers Steve, that’s the plan I’m hoping anyhow
