Anybody ever wear one of these while cycling (road)? I need something that will especially not grind away at the back of my knee.

I have not yet worn this while riding but I have worn it for 13 hrs on 2 consecutive days and not felt like it was uncomfortable or cutting off circulation or anything.. The way they do the stitching on the back of the knee seems to make it not bunch as much. Now, the other day I sat in a low chair with no leg room and that wasn't comfortable (I'm 6'2" so my legs were very bent). I had to pull it off. Other than that, no problems. I think it would work great for cycling. Give me a week and I'll probably have taken it out on a ride. In any case, I don't think u can go wrong. It's about as comfortable a brace as I've ever had. Way better than the neoprene ones I've had.

It does pinch behind knee a little with normal wear Would probably not work for cycling.

No but have hiked up steep mountains with step and boulders, etc. and have not had an issue.

I got a playmaker which reponded to my leg measurements. It ended up being too small. My knee was in such pain that I strapped it on and wore it one day anyway. MISTAKE!! I called trying to send this one back to exchange for a larger one. They would not exchange it since I'd worn it once. So if you get one be sure to try it on and if it doesn't fit, put it right back in the bag no matter how badly your knee hurts.

No, not really, since you got a knee protector that goes higher then the knee cap, and just walking around with them will make it uncomfortable. those knee shin pads protector are made for cycling and motorbike riding since you have your legs bent and the knee shin pads protector will fit perfectly over your knee cap whille protecting the higher part of your knee cap. i use those knee shin protector while riding my electric mountain bike going up to 60 km/h in the trails and since i've had them, they protected my knees and shins quite well after those wipe outs. hope those info helped you.

Thanks so much! I am looking for something light weight and portable to use when traveling to keep good ROM in my stiff-after-knee-replacement knee. I use a stationary bike at home and hope this would do for short term use on the road. Would you agree that it would?

Get the T-shirt. It exists, and I actually wore it last year when I had a real knee sprain.

Yes. it's a hard plastic over your knee, even though I found them rather uncomfortable. Those kneepads are a little too rigid for me specially when you have to pedal a lot. I used them for MTB but the trails I go to are rather flat (lots of pedaling involved) compared to downhill.

This product is great for supporting your knees for a short time during intense exercise. If your looking for somthing for all day use, i would recommend getting a compression sleeve. They are comfortable and easy to put on and maintain.

Hi there...I use it for running and it's an amazing help. So much so that I bought a second one so I can use them on both knees. However, for squats or deadlifts I think they'd be uncomfortable. But again, I just use them for running so I can't ay for sure.

when i purchased my knee walker, the options included purchasing a basket . I did not, thinking I could find a bicycle basket. didn't find one at the local chain stores, maybe you need to try a bike store. the online company still sells the basket, along with a cover for the "seat" - suggest you consider that - knee and shin get very tender after several weeks.

Recommendation from a friend with a similar knee problem. The one I chose has been great. The only complaint I have is that periodically the cushion on the back of my knee moves and then the strap rubs the skin.

Probably I wear an extra large bike helmet and works for me. May be a little stretched and not so comfortable. Ask manufacturer to be sure.

I have used them for mountain biking and they do an acceptable job protecting my knees and shins. I am not sure that type of protection might be comfortable for climbing and will stay in place if you take traumatic steps, small jumps, etc. I believe a tube fabric with plastic inserts might work better for you. Just a thought.

Shoes are very personal. It depends on how wide ur foot is etc. U will see as some shoes have diff widths. I was new to cycling and didn't feel any shoe was comfy until I tried.the giro shoe. I bought the giro gauge shoe. Love it. Unlike pedals u need to try the shoe on b4 u buy.

As your legs move up and down, the seat pads pivot with them and thereby do not restrict your movement. When I bought my present bicycle it did not have these seats. One of the very first things I did was order a Hobbs Easyseat for this bicycle. I have been using these since about 1993. They are the best bike I know of for long distance biking, bar none.

Hello, I haven't worn them all night, but I have noticed how much warmer my knees feel when I go outside, and I live in Fairbanks, AK. They made a big difference a couple of weeks ago when it was 28 below, and I wouldn't go outside without them now. I do wear them at work for 9-1/2 hours, and find them comfortable, warm and I haven't had a problem with them for that length of time. I bought them mostly for support, but do find they give added warmth outside in the cold. This is the best answer I can give you.

Yes very much so!! It is comfortable and wearable for support during activities that may produce strain on the knee. I wear it when I exercise and when I'm working for stability which protects from further damage. Get one or two you won't be sorry!!!

Had some pretty bad pain on bones between my legs, this seat definitely helps also will take a few rides for your body and bones to adjust to cycling...you can talk to the folks at a bike shop if there's one in your area, they may have some advice...but I just love this seat and maybe will work for you too, good luck
