I feel the same way. I did it for a decade. It was hard, but great. Then I got a dog. I want to take her hiking, or to the dog park, so I got a car. "I'll still ride", I told myself. But taking her for walks (they're pretty long walks), while not as good as my bike rides, is just enough exercise that going on a long bike ride just doesn't feel like the right thing. I still ride occasionally, like when I'm stuck on a code problem and need to clear my head about it, but it's not like it was. I miss it, but I also love my dog.
