Forgot to reply to this--you do know that it's actually a typical cyclist thing to have a tight IT band, don't you?
I had the same problem at about your age. In my case, it turned out the strain on the knee was transferred from a problem with the sacro-iliac (hip) joint. It's worth exploring whether it may be referred pain in your case, as well. I'd also recommend yoga and swimming.
