While I don't recommend this as a way to get the fire back -- it worked for me. Haven't had a problem since.
One thing that worked for me, too -- no cyclo-computer. Forget numbers and performance. Just ride for the sake of the ride, get inside it, and experience it, Zen-like. Leave enough time each way, and just immerse yourself in the experience.
I can definitely relate to this I had knee surgery this winter, and working my way back into shape has gotten me more enthused about commuting again.
I don't have computer on my commuting bike either (only on my roadie). although I do wear my HRM on the commute (mostly just to record total time and average heart rate).
