Does anyone ever wear strapping when riding through some particularly hilly areas?
My knees can give way, due to much sport when younger, and I find that if a strap them up or rather wear a mild brace when out jogging it really helps so wondering if it could be applied to cycling.
It's not such an issue if I sit and spin but that seems quite a bit less efficient for power.

Sadly some of us have got to the age where we have to take it easy today to be able to ride tomorrow.

I strapped my knee for a while a few years back after knackering my knees playing 5-a-side. Noticed it during impacts or twisting rather than when pedalling. Nearly had a big stack at Antur as a result as my knees would just buckle on the rocks and drops.

Strapping up my knees under my pads helped a lot

Physio sorted it in the end, and funnily enough, running!
