Partly you just have to come to terms with the idea that there is no magic pill you can swallow and you'll have to make some effort.
You don't have to do resistance training just to keep your muscles in shape and regain the strength you already have with your muscles. A bike obviously doesn't work every muscle in your body. It is one of the better cardio training devices that you can enjoy with others or by yourself. If you have good cardio health, you'll probably be more inclined to want to do some of the other activities that will have you using your other muscles whether or not it's resistance type exercise or not.
If you only do resistance training, you may not get the cardio benefit you need for your heart and vascular system. IMO.
Are you a loner and only wish to exercise by yourself? Or is participating in group sports an option?
