Svend,

Are you on a road bike or a 29'er, and, how long do you ride? Are you climbing?

I, too, am thinking you are going too hard/too long/too soon. Early in the season, I limit riding to an hour with no knee stress and it takes a while for my knees to acclimate. I've never had knee issues other than some minor tweaks. I returned from Colorado this season with some minor discomfort and cycling actually helped strengthen the knee. Just ride in easy gears and spin more. I use Harb's foot pull-back thought in the bottom half of my cycle to reduce the push-only power stroke used by untrained riders.
