I had ACL surgery about 2 years ago, and I find that every time I run my knee ends up aching and I get bad shin splints. When I took up long distance cycling I found that it was much easier on all my joints. Can I get better cardio from biking?

Sure you can. Get yourself a heart rate monitor. Find your minimal/maximal heart rates, then work out your training zone and put in the time. Don't forget to work in intervals if you want to increase your cardio capacity even further.I had ACL surgery about 2 years ago, and I find that every time I run my knee ends up aching and I get bad shin splints.

Much easier on the knees, but harder on the taint.
