For me, if I don't enjoy it I don't want to do it.

You know, I think that's the key. Getting an interest in the process of something. Just wanting the result isn't going to help.

Motivation is irrelevant when all you're really looking for is motivations result. Find something you're looking for that would be a result of being motivated to loose weight.
As far as I'm concerned, gyms and weight training are for bodybuilders. I've been considering swimming for exercise for over a year, but I never went once. I finally tried it out a few weeks ago, and it was so much fun I started going 3 times a week. That only lasted for 3 weeks; I'm going 5 times a week now.
I think you should find another situation to use your bike, or try other outdoor activities at random. I sit at a computer all day too, and outdoor stuff always relaxes my mind since it doesn't require anything my job does.
