Re getting on your bike:

*If* you can spin when you cycle, you're unlikely to hurt your knee any further. But that means a consistent 80-100 rpm (preferably 90-100). And that means never standing on the pedals and riding in a low gear to allow yourself to spin.

You need to evaluate your own cycling style (and whether there are lots of hills on your route). And perhaps ask your doctor?
