Procedural memory includes learning to ride a bike, drive a car, use computer and Internet, and typing.
Sit on the bike, push down on the pedal, and your long-term procedural memory is activated.
It is comprised of three storage systems: episodic memory (facts or events), semantic memory (knowledge or beliefs about facts and events--"wisdom"), and procedural memory (sequences or patterns of behavior).
