Recap: Old-fat-guy recovered after several major surgeries. Bought an eBike to get moving again.
Well it's worked. Entering week 3 I'm rapidly getting stronger and I've gotten up to a regular Mon/Wed/Thurs ride of 8 miles with me taking over (vs the assist) a little bit more each time. I laugh at myself now because I get a little irritated on Tues and Thurs when I don't/can't ride due to other commitments.
Holding myself to a pretty strict standard for "grocery getting" with the bike (3 miles round trip) has also given me incentive to buy a hell of a lot less junk food because I don't want the weight in the milk-crate grocery basket for the uphill going back home LOL.
We have a nice bike lane on the way to the grocery store, but it had gathered a lot of miscl. debris, gravel, and so forth. I called my locality and to my absolute astonishment they had it swept off THE NEXT DAY! Kudos to Chenango Bridge NY!
I'm in absolute shock at how fast I'm approaching the "first 100" on my bike.
I do see a small "cargo trailer" to tow behind in my very near future.
