Just read your first post. Many here have stories that run similar to yours. Family and responsibilities make it tough and before you know it things are out of control.

One thing I did to get in some miles was to commute and ride at night. I may only commute once or twice a week but at least it was something. In the beginning when I couldn't make it the whole way I'd drive to about 5 miles away and park and ride in from there. Then I'd move back a distance as my conditioning improved or time allowed.

Night riding is awesome, yet comes with a bit of risk. Bike path only for me and plenty of lights.
