Learning how to shift gears (speeds) is a different skill from simply learning to balance. If you were once comfortable on a bike in the past, when you try again now it will come back to you quickly, in maybe an hour or two at the most. Just be calm and careful, and remember that it's easiest to balance and steer if going at a moderate pace, not too slow and not too fast either. Get used to it in a middle gear before trying to change gears, and make sure you're riding smoothly and straight and moving the pedals slowly when you do change gears.

The longest I went without riding a bike was four years. I still remembered how. I don't know if you waited longer though. My guess is it's something that you don't forget.

well, my ancient bike has only 2 speeds, stop and go. that's about as much as i need, or even know how to use. my suggestion would be to wait until bike week, i'm sure "tank", "wild bill", "freebird", or "wizard" would be more than happy to help refresh your memory on how to ride a bike with many speeds.
