My mother and I took the MSF course some years ago via the local community college (they also have a CDL program at the same lot). It crams a lot into just a few days but there's no reason anyone who approaches it with a little respect and determination won't come away competent enough to at least ride the side streets to their nearest parking lot to continue building confidence. I took a similar approach to longboarding, riding around a large local parking lot after hours until I felt in control enough to kick around town.

After completing the course we booked appointments at the MVA and had the motorcycle endorsement added to our licenses. A bonus in its own right, bypassing the MVA testing and waiting there all day. Most insurance providers will also cut a small break for having completed a safety course. I'd definitely recommend that route for anyone looking to ride. Or just for the experience, honestly. It made for a great memory. It's inexpensive, relatively, and you can still say you've rode a bike - even if you have no desire to ever do it out on the roads with all the crazies.

Thank you!

Also found bicycle experience very helpful. But I feel that motorcycle requires a lot more work with your legs in comparison with bicycle. Even my thigh muscles hurts now. So it also will be tamed like a clutch.
