My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

Get a bike!I know the feeling well, and I may address it somewhere in this QOTW.
But in the meantime, I will say that one potential cure I've found is the nocturnal cycling scene.
Riding about your city at night with several dozen (or hundred) other bored and hopeful folks is an experience not to be missed. Plus, you're on your bike, so you're getting fit at the same time, unlike moping about on the internet or in a club drinking and sitting and getting fat.
I'm in L.A., but here's one link for London, there may be others:

Seriously, these rides are free (unless you choose to buy beer or snacks), you meet the nicest people, and you're bombing through the metropolis under your own power and seeing your home city in a way you've never seen it.
It's like getting to BE the character for once, and in a pretty action packed chapter.
Seriously, tell me this doesn't look like fun:

Find something similar in your town. If there isn't something similar, put an ad up on craigslist and start one.
