I rarely get real DOMS anymore, and that actually worries me because
I've always associated it with a good hard workout. However, given
that I'm "calming down" with age, anyway, I don't worry as much as I
might have in the past...so it's all good; I take what I can get.
I think I know "pain" from "discomfort" now and I rarely get the pain
of DOMS these days...only the discomfort of it, which, given my one
day on/one day off split, goes away quickly.

would leave me in that kind of pain; i've never figured out what i'm doing
wrong, so i don't do leg work as much as i should now. I even get painful
knees when cycling (although it doesn't last after i stop), which really
worries me. Anyway, i digress.
Bum knees cycling? That's usually a matter of pedaling on the wrong
gear: you should be spinning your way up the hill instead of grinding
your knees on a harder-to-pedal gear in order to get some power out of
each "stroke"...that, and maybe given your anatomy your knees are too
close or too far from the whachamacallit, the pedal-thinggy that
connects the pedal to the crank-thinggy....
