Question about adding cardio with a bad knee

I've had tendonitis developing in my left knee for a couple months now and it keeps getting worse. I've already sacrificed both basketball league I play in and leg day but I refuse to sacrifice my volleyball league.

I just finished reading 'Special Endurance Sport Considerations for Strength Athletes' and I'm considering incorporating sprint cycling into my workout routine. I'm currently on a bulk trying to gain muscle mass and keep fat off. I actually want to lose some of the fat on my belly so that I have abs for the summer.

My questions are these: 1) How will sprint cycling affect my knee? 2) How will sprint cycling affect my cardio, lower half explosiveness, and lower half aesthetics starting from basically nothing? 3) If I continue bulking and change nothing in my diet and incorporate 1 or 2 days of sprint cycling a week how will my strength gains and body fat be affected? 4) Suggestions?

Here is a progress pic for reference. 6'7" 215 lbs.
