You've mentioned riding a bike; may I recommend the unicycle?
It's a bit hard getting started, but once you start figuring it out, it feels GREAT.
The big reason that I mention it, though, is that it's something you can do alone that is also a way to meet people - if you want it to be. Someone gives you shit, and you can smile at them and not say anything - you're on a unicycle, what are they going to do about it? Someone thinks you're awesome, but you don't feel like stopping to talk.. so don't! You're on a unicycle!
It's also a pretty good workout, and way more fun than running. And it's cheap to get started - I've bought two on Craigslist, and paid 50-75 each time; even a new one isn't that much, at 120 or so bucks.
It's actually surprisingly hard to hurt yourself (no fall will be worse than stepping onto a stair when you thought you'd be stepping on the floor when descending, unless you tangle your feet up in the pedals, which you get a feel for pretty quick).
TLDR: Ride a unicycle, thank me later.
I would recommend the LX model instead of the CX. The seat on the CX is a brick in comparison.
