Why do my knees hurt while on an exercise bike?

I’ve been having a problem lately. I’ve started trying to use a stationary bike to exercise, but my knees start to kill me every time. So far I’ve just been enduring it, but I feel like I could go longer if my knees weren’t so sore. Will this get better as I go? Or should I be doing something to strengthen my knees? Also, am I hurting myself by continuing to bike even though it hurts?

Answer #1

I’m not wearing shoes. Should I?

Answer #2

if it hurts the whole time then stop, try stretching before you bike, and maybe you need new shoes but I doubt that’s the problem.
