Making a habit of using a bike for transportation will save huge amounts of energy. Next time you're looking for a house or a job, you'll think a bit about whether you'll be able to commute on a bike, or take the bike to the store. It may be enough to keep you out of the suburbs, or at least in a dense suburb. It's a relatively energy-efficient way to live.
Habitual cycling will keep you flexible and lean, so you'll fit in that low hatchback that gets good gas mileage, instead of deciding you need a minivan to haul your large frame around.
