This is the next best exercise (next to running in water) in simulating the effects of
running. In fact, this "cross-training" will strengthen your quadriceps, which reduces
pressure on the knees. The back of the lower legs are not worked in cycling as they
are in running. If you use toe clips, however, you simulate running more closely.
Cycling doesn't produce the gravity stress (pounding) of running and therefore will
not aggravate most injuries.
