it's the technical aspect of manual gear changes that I worry will throw me
Look at all the people currently driving manual cars. Do you seriously think you could possibly be a bigger idiot than all of them? I've seen how a lot of them drive, and I'm startled that they've even mastered tying their own shoe laces, based on their general competence :)

I can drive relatively competently (if slowly) in an automatic. I've passed theory and know roads well from two decades of cycling (I think safely) on them. But yes it's the technical aspect of manual gear changes that I worry will throw me. Hence fixie skidding around London's famous London.
