I'm not a triathlete, but one of my sorority sisters is.
She, like you, was a swimmer and runner--and those are her specialties. Biking is hardest for her.
I know when she bought a bike she talked to guys at a good bike shop about finding one that would be good for triathlons. And she just gets herself to ride it.
I think if you just start doing it, and doing it more and more often you'll find it easier.
I rode an 11 mile ride this summer after not really riding in years. Yeah, it was hard (I didn't really train for it), but it wasn't too impossible. It's true what they say--you don't forget how to ride. I would just suggest constant practice.
