Very commendable. Before acquiring or jumping on a nice or new bike, see if you can acquire a junker 26 inch standard, no suspension mountain bike. Being adult, your not learning the child's way with training wheels, etc. A donor, clunker beach type type bike is good too (with hand brakes, not a coaster) all you need and have the crank and chain removed. Make sure it has good brakes. Lower the seat and get comfy. (A local bike shop might be helpful in this.)
Start to push it with your feet touching the ground. Try it out in a flat parking lot. You need to move just fast enough to get a gyro action in the wheels and help you balance. Once you feel a balance and coasting, lift your feet to the outsides. When sufficient, reinstall the cranks and chain. Enjoy.
