Should my knees hurt this badly from pedaling?

I just bought a great little Schwinn Cruiser. I haven't owned a bike since age 7 (I'm 15.) I rode it around the park a bit yesterday and was okay, but today I rode it to school (5 & 1/2 miles), to go get lunch with friends (2 miles) to the store, and back home... And then rode around the park and neighbrhood for about an hour, so approximately 15 miles, and now i'm on the couch and my knees are killing me. Is this amount of biking considered to be a lot? Do they hurt because I haven't ridden in years, or is it something else?
