Shawn, It just so happens that I had both knees replaced in January of 2010. I was 49 at the time and so I fully expect to have them replaced one more time before the end of my life. With that being said, the surgery has not hampered my cycling at all. In fact, I trained for and rode the Southern Tier route from San Diego to Florida last summer, just 18 months post-surgery and had no issues with my knees at all. Make sure you do your PT, as has been said. My doctor told me that they really like to hear that knee patients ride, because they're not out there pounding their knees. Oh, one thing I've changed is that I try to use slightly lower gears, so as to spin more than mash the pedals, but it has not been a drastic alteration by any means. Best of luck to you, Shawn!
