This came up a while back. I wonder how long it would take Danny MacAskill to learn how to ride this type of bike?

I bet there are some folks out there (say, 15 yrs old and up) who could learn in about 5 minutes, then flip back and forth between the two in seconds. For the rest of us, we're stuck in the stone age as far as having certain pathways hard-wired in then be able to re-program them, but given how complicated and incredible the brain can be, I bet some folks can do it much more easily than others. (just a guess on my part)
