Procedural memory

Explanation:

Procedural memory is the memory that deals with the tasks that we have been accustomed to. These tasks are performed without consciously thinking about them. They generally involve tasks that require motor skills and cognitive skills.

Here, the task of riding a bike becomes something that a person can do without consciously thinking about it. Hence, the question is referring to procedural memory.
