This is from the Scientific American article: _“Boris Suchan is a **professor of clinical neuropsychology at the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany.** There he explores, among other things, the function and organization of memory.”_

“Skills such as playing an instrument or **riding a bicycle** are, however, anchored in a separate system, **called procedural memory.** ”
