Agreed ... and +1 on the twins thing ... happened to me
That said, I'd keep commuting, and if time/committments allow, extend your ride once a week or so.
I've never regretted "giving" time to my children at the expense of my own desires. The past three years or so I volunteered to coach my son's little league team ... and that seriously impacted the amount of riding I was able to do from April through June. But I loved it, and now that he switched to lacrosse, and I don't coach, I miss it. But I make up for it commuting now. And now, all three of them have an understanding of why I love to ride, and they like to go on short rides with me
