Is it as cold in Glasgow as it is in London at the moment? My knees are knackered and I can only put it down to the temperature.

IT band?

If I rode a SS MTB and commuted on a Pashley I don't think I would be able to walk up the stairs.
Seriously though, a bit of an increase in training stress/volume is likely to be the cause. If you can commute on something a bit more sensible or take the bus for a couple of days it might settle it.
Actually, other than some muscular fatigue type pain towards the end of the day it didn’t bother me.
Joint pain/niggles are always more prominant the days following a ride when you don't have the distraction of muscular pain/lovely hormones

I’ve been noticing my knee clicking and crunching a bit when commuting over the last week.
I went mtbing at the weekend, singlespeed and pushed myself to do more mileage/climbing than I might normally. Was worried it’d destroy the knee but wanted to go out in a blaze of glory haha. Actually, other than some muscular fatigue type pain towards the end of the day it didn’t bother me.
However, I noticed it again on the commute today so I’m wondering if commuting on my Pashley with its really laid back seat tube angle and therefore, tons of set back could be to blame?
