Cars (& big social media) are convenient, comfortable, dehumanising, dangerous (individually and on a global scale), and "normal."
Bikes (& fedi) ask you to give up some of the comforts for a more human, more sustainable experience. There are different norms and affordances and some compromises. Hopefully we unlearn bad habits and redesign our environments along the way.
It shouldn't be painful but it does ask you to change your perspective.
