Lesson learned for next time: don't change the bike just change your knees. (j/k). Sorry to hear you're still suffering.

the kawasaki hasn't caused my knees to hurt,I can ride it without it hurting my knees. I am joining an NHS weight management course to hopefully lose weight which doctor says is necessary. (also wear and tear with age and some arthritis )

The kawasaki has been a good move , with the feet forward riding position I can ride it without discomfort but I can't expect it to cure my knees. (I need to lose weight ) Dr says walking should not make my knees worse and should help ,but of course it puts you off walking when your knees hurt. Anyway,enough from me.

Wales is definitely on my list of places I'd love to visit. How bad are the traffic police these days?
