I'm by the sea. It's 29c outside now, crystal clear skies, and I'm sitting inside, because being outside just means watching people lounging, continuously feeding, drinking and ponderously moving between hotels and bars.
I am fucking bored.
Sometimes away from the big cities I would say that you have to be active in getting out and finding things to do, routes to ride, people to do interesting things with etc. There is more of a need to make things happen because it isn't always just there like it is in big cities.
Hope this isn't coming over as patronising btw. I don't know where you are and what it's like there so I might be talking out of arse!
jdp-
Life can be like that in London too, to be fair. A lot of what keeps me busy is work and commuting rather than a vibrant social life.

Not at all, you've actually got a point. It's an Island, so I've explored a fair bit of it as it is, and with the over abundance of tourists, most of the fun rides become chocked with coaches/cars roaring up and down any sort of high point.
More than the rides, I miss the chaos that the diversity of people accomplishes. A melting pot so to say.
There is stuff to do, I suppose it's just as @Timmy2wheels said. It's more of an insular culture, so finding engaging people is quite tough. I suppose I'm a bit lonely in that regards, more so than other places I've lived in abroad.
Mind you, they were mostly cities.

No, I get exactly what you mean. The chances of connecting with people on a random scale have totally diminished for me.
I like the spontaneous contact. Believe it or not, I miss walking down a heavily congested road.
There was an over abundance of stimuli that just engaged me, so your Old Kent commute is, in my opinion, as valid as sweeping countryside and wildlife.

I am fucking bored. If you're snobby, then I have no qualms about being so too.
