Bicycling is one of the most knee-friendly activities one can do. I know, since I've had ACL reconstruction, partial meniscus (cartilage) removal and a meniscus repair on my left knee. I didn't get back into cycling (was active growing up, for exercise & transportation,) until *after* my knee surgery in 2005.
Have read and heard about these. Haven't had a chance to see or ride one but it may be something to look in to.

Happy Camping!
