It can't hurt, that's for sure. If your knees can't take the hard surfaces you do what you have to. Are lots of ways to get HIIT for cardio in. Not sure how the tabata protocol will work out on the bike, given the 20 sec full out, 10 sec rest deal x 8, but if you can pull it off or anything even similar, then sure. Imagine it will only benefit you.
I'd just try to have it on your lightest workout days of the week and allow for breaks for rest.
