@bilton - Like @contentandwell I also had a TKR last year due to advanced degenerative arthritis. McMaster Optimal Aging Portal has some good information on osteoarthritis and exercise here:
Osteoarthritis and Exercise - Learn how to best manage osteoarthritis of the hip and knee with exercise. Reduce your symptoms and improve your mobility: https://www.mcmasteroptimalaging.org/e-learning/mobility
@bilton I would take a look at the exercises suggested by @johnbishop. As for the mini-cycles, many are intended for people who have been very sedentary, as a first step to getting some movement. Others are for cyclists trying to maintain fitness away from their bikes. You can find a review of several products here that describes each: https://cylanceprocycling.com/best-mini-exercise-bikes/

@bilton You are looking for information related to osteoarthritis in the knee and mini cycles.
You will notice I moved your question to a previous discussion. I did this so you could more quickly connect with members like @gps123 @trellg132 @bonnieh218 @jmb73 @sueinmn @johnbishop that have experience with this topic and may be able answer your question.
May I ask if a mini cycle is an indoor bike?
