I suffer from the same condition, although it affects my walking more than cycling, i.e. I need to rest at home a day after walking around. I now wear knee supports but it still hurts the day after.
The main advice I can give is to ensure your pedal position is optimal. I rode a different bike the other day, with the pedals closer together than I was used to, and it affected my knees for about three weeks after. But on my own bike, I don't have any problems, infact it has probably helped keep the condition under control, so keep rolling:-

thanks bn
tbh at the mo i'm using flats rather than clipped in so feet should find optimal position.
