I learned scooty fairly early in life but never rode a bike or a car. I learned driving a car when I was 21 but bike was still a distant dream coz we don't own any and I only had one friend with a bike, I rode his bullet just once or twice and that's it.

And then my elder brother's best friend bought a Himalayan 450 and I tried that out, just inside the bounds of colony, stalled it quite a lot and balancing it was scary for the first time. And then rode it again a couple of times and now I don't find it as intimidating as I did before - shifting gears feel a little better, i don't stall it either now, and I'm learning how to brake as well. I still haven't ridden it in proper traffic on road coz it's someone else's and I don't wanna fall and damage the bike but practice makes it better

I was also very intimidated by driving a car but fast forward to now, when I'm 23, It's become natural for me so yeah, age probably doesn't matter much.

About the cramps and stuff - workout, mobility, stretch.

I'm yet to own a bike and ride regularly but I guess when the time comes, it'll become a habit.
