Welcome from Bristol, England.

You say you're new to biking. If you experience any difficulty, its most likely to be with slow speed manouvers. If you can find an area such as a car park (parking lot) which is empty one day a week, you will probably find it very helpfull to practise such manouvers there for a few hours to build your confidence.

From what other american riders have posted here I would also recommend taking the MSF training course.
