I got a new girlfriend who took up nearly all my time, a couple months ago. I slacked off the bike riding, and suddenly realized I really missed the bike! So the new girlfriend sensed I needed to spend more time on my bike, and she asked me to go bike shopping with her. She is now riding with me - though she's just now getting started and is holding me back. But it's something we can do together (besides the other obvious things), and it is fun.
Also, I'm really, really in love with my vintage GT Xizang that I've had since new. I have a renewed interest in taking the bike on rides in as many different places as possible - just to say I've been there. I'm even buying little embroidered state patches to put on my rear rack bag and panniers, like a sea trunk used to have stickers all over it in our grandparent's era. Just a way of collecting memories.
