Hi Shawn, I've treated many patients who've undergone full or partial knee replacements. The outcome is generally excellent and should not adversely affect your cycling in the least. Try to make sure that you receive your physical therapy from a PT familiar with the demands of cycling (and who will understand your cycling mindset).
