Great thought-provoking article Cam. Personally, I will stick with an exercise program only if it's something I truly enjoy doing. That rules out any kind of gym-based program for me. I truly love getting out on my bike though, so this is what I do as often as possible. Road bikes in summer and mountain bikes all year round. This is the fitness program that works for me. Having fitter/faster/younger friends to chase around helps alot too.
For those parents with young kids, don't despair it gets better. You will eventually have more time to ride, and if you are lucky your kids will develop a passion for it too. Nothing beats riding with your kids, especially when they get better than you and start to teach you things. This will likely happen much sooner than you think.
