I too am a keen cyclist that rides an average 200ks / week.
Driving a manual car is a lot like learning to ride a bike.
Start by driving in a vacant parking lot and then drive around the block.
One hour a day is plenty of practice and then when you feel more confident you can learn handbrake hill starts.
I taught one of my sons and he was even able to do heel/toe downshifts after about three months.
My wife and other two sons just wan't to drive auto.
