I got back on the bike by making it a secondary thing - the bike was a tool to achieve a goal. Specifically I wanted to get out into the countryside to take photos of things. I didn’t think of the bike as anything other than a tool to get to that other goal. I wasn’t going for a bike ride, I was going to take photos. After a while I found that order of priority was starting to flip, now I barely bother to take my camera out on the bike.
