Cycling is a considered a low impact sport however depending on how the bike set up a badly fitted bike can lead to knee pain and longer term injuries such as chronic Tendonitis & Osteoarthritis.
Generally, most people are not frequent riders and given the additional expense don't normally get measured and fitted for a cycle when purchasing a new machine. Realistically given their relatively low mileage per year it is less important to have a professional set up the bike for you however it should be said that some consideration should be given to bike suitability, frame size, seat height & handle bar position etc.
