This is a very good analogy. A similar one I have heard before is "It's like falling asleep... It takes a while to get into sleep mode and if someone interrupts you, you have to start the process again." Most people can understand how annoying it would be to be interrupted all night and not get a good night sleep. Though riding a bike makes programming sound more active than sleeping, which is good.
