The bottom of my foot and the thing behind my knee are hurting again...


Your feet may be flexing too much on the pedals. If you're not wearing stiff-soled shoes, try changing the shoes you ride in. Wear the stiffest ones you have (that are practical for riding). What you want is for your feet to press down flat on the pedal, not to bend around the pedal. The bike should be giving your quads a workout, not your soles!

I've had foot pain from riding in Keds and Tretorns, but when I switched to heavier-soled running-type shoes it stopped.

Thing behind knee sounds like hamstring? Stretching, stretching, and stretching...
