Beyond that, the biggest thing that's kept me riding is having Mrs. Zoxe there. The days she doesn't feel like going, I get us up and ready ... and vice versa. We've talked about getting free weights or a bowflex and putting them alongside a stationary bike to continue the buddy-system motivation when the weather is crappy.

When we get ready to buy, I'll definitely be checking CL. Thanks for that!
