Nice to see you back on BikeForums again. I won't go into, but I've a couple of out periods, the first in 2009 thanks the dreadful bushfires, and then for almost six months after March last year.
Try to look at cycling as a great physical fitness method that doesn't hurt much at all, but will get you meeting different people even if briefly, seeing stuff in a different way, and maybe adopting it as a method of cheap transport.
And irrespective of different views on the matter, wear a good-quality helmet when riding. Trust me on this.
