I took the bike back to the shop and they bled the brakes and everything was fine. I rode the bike a few times and then parked it for ~6 months. Now today as I tried to get the bike ready for riding, the rear brakes are locked up again.
Does anyone know why this keeps happening?

It sounds like your answer is within this thread. I think it might be #3 or #4 at the bottom there, too much fluid preventing your pads from retracting if you've already bled them properly.
