New eBike rider

[Gadjetty]

Hi guys,

I've cycled for most of my life, but arthritis got in the way and I lost my confidence to cycle until I discovered eBikes. Only had my new bike for a bit over a week and you can't get me off it unless I'm working. Finding it so comfortable and have already clocked up a fair amount of miles.
My misconception was that riding eBikes would be "cheating" and that you wouldn't really work out when riding them. How far from the truth that was!
Anyway, looking forward to having a look at all your posts. Nice to be here.

Hi Gaz

Welcome aboard. Which bike do you have? Do you have any pics of it?
Thanks for making an avatar.

The Obea Optima Comfort 30. Very happy with it so far.

Tidy looking bike.

 

[Gadjetty]

Well, it's new, I'll be adding a few more bits and pieces to it and it'll get mucked up, no doubt

Gaz, its the one that we all can clearly see in the photo. You will not get a better answer than that. But, if you really want me to go deeper into it, the top photo I counted an extra seventy two pebbles and four chipped stones to be exact.

Darn, I was hoping no one'd notice pebble #72. Top marks for the OCD

Spot on Gaz I was next going to mention the amount of times I had to go back and make sure that #72 was the correct number and I'm still not convinced within myself that this is correct. I had to recheck a further 17 times on top of the previous 32. At the end of the day I am so happy for being that normal person and not one for being obsessively over the top.
