It's probably fine. How fast? How flat? Are your knees covered? Do you avoid excessive force on the pedals until you've warmed up? Do you 'rev up' out of the saddle if having to start from a stop/near-stop? Do you get any lingering pain in your knees? Do you have any history of knee injury? Do you think improved performance is most likely to come from legspeed or muscular endurance (within the limits of what your aerobic system can support)? Blah blah blah.
