Just got home and read the forum. This is a great idea. I went and read PhotoJoe's story and will try to put something together. I'm not much of a writer so it might take me a couple of days.

will do. I will work it for a while, though. Want me to post it here and then you can cut and paste?

I am the Snail~!
It started right here on BF back in 2009 - https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...gery-and-More!
And as of today I am bouncing between 298 and 302lbs. I now ride a recumbent trike (TerraTrike Rover) and do most of my posting over on BROL https://www.bentrideronline.com/messa...splay.php?f=13 in the trike forum. Left knee replaced, right shoulder rebuilt, right hip replaced, some 80lbs lost, and this year (first non-surgical year since 2002) I've done two metrics and one Imperial Century, plus a nine day, 200 odd mile tour on the GAP. Riding has saved my life, and at this point I no longer need to see my heart DR, and my last A1C was 5.8
I hope to soon get onto disability and then get the right knee replaced next. My Ortho says I have about 5-6yrs left on my left hip before it too will be bone-on-bone. OA sucks, losing weight helps, but does not stop it from destroying joints.
