Also getting that feeling. The bike storage in my block is full of bikes bought during COVID, now unridden. Don't blame them. I'm fairly confident, but it's just the presence of so many (often massive) cars that makes riding no fun -the noise, the sense of competition and threat.

I am from the Flatlands, if you are seriously considering moving give me a shout.
Sorry to hear your commute sucks so much.

Yesterday in broad daylight I had a big numb 4x4 pull out on me without checking their mirrors, jack-knifing me into a car parked on the opposite lane. Their screaming response - 'NO HI VIS'.
I'm pretty thick skinned and cycled on the roads since god knows how long but Is anyone else finding that drivers are getting worse and worse, and more aggressive?
Seriously considering upping sticks and moving to Holland when I've finished my Masters if it was possible cos it's draining my mental health.
