Just joined up, here to say hello. I'm from Sheffield in the UK, bought an emtb in March in an attpt to drop some weight and get fitter, since then have sold my motorbike and been riding the ebike every day, and have so far dropped nearly 60 pounds. Bought a Raymon Trailray 140, had it for 2 months and had it stolen from my shed, luckily my insurance sorted it and got me a like for like replacement delivered within a week. In July I signed up for Cancer Research UKs 300 in July challenge, to ride 300 miles in the month. I ended up doing 360 miles and raising £600. I'm now still riding daily (average around 10-15 miles a day) with longer (30-40 miles) rides at the weekend (have the day off work to morrow so planning a long run in the peak district), and am in the process of upgrading bits and pieces of my bike (tubeless conversion is next on the list). Here's a pic of it.

I've also started a sort of mini project that grew out of my riding around on my charity challenge, where I photograph Sheffield street art and graffiti as I'm out riding (usually with my bike leant against it) and am posting all these on Instagram under the username sheffield_street_art, here's one of those 1000016315.jpg
