I do a lot of activities where knees can be badly messed up, which is obvious when your knees get a bit messed up. :-(</p> <p>I noticed on the ride in this morning that when I turn the bike I also turn my foot slightly on the pedal to face the new direction. With a sore knee I can actually <em>feel</em> this shift in position happening. </p> <p>Since realising this I tried to consciously pedal in a straight line even while turning. It's not easy so clearly the habit is quite well ingrained.</p> <p>Is this a known pedalling problem? I've never seen anyone mention it but to be honest I don't pay a great deal of attention to discussions of proper pedalling form. </p>
