It’s hard at first and but after a few months you get fitter and faster.
You learn newer more efficient or varied routes and get better at managing traffic around you.
You sleep better.
You start eating better and learn to cook.
You make new friend and joining local cycling groups.
As a side effect you get fitter, lose weight and find that you are becoming more attractive.
You smoke and drink less because if you did it the day before the ride it’s less good.
You sell your car because you don’t need it sitting in your drive depreciating and rusting.
You have some free cash to spend on better bikes or upgrades.
Before you know it you can ride 100 miles in a day.
You pick clothes that can double up as riding gear to replace your old wardrobe that no longer fits. You donate some of this to charity.
You organise some rides for the club you joined and help out at other events. Though this extended community of likeminded folk you find friends and perhaps a lover with a shared interest.
Before you know it you’ve changed your lifestyle, made new friends and habits all starting with the initial decision to start riding to work.
I think this is the principle you’re alluding to.
