Funny, people can't seem to see why I prefer to be called "Eddie" rather than "Ed."
Anywho, just be mindful of your body mechanics and you'll be fine. This not only includes things like saddle/butt placement and leg extension on the downstroke, but how your knees track when you pedal (do you tuck them in, flare them out?), how your shoulders are placed, how much weight you put on your wrists, etc.
There are indeed a lot of things to be mindful of, but cycling is still easier on your body than driving, IMHO.
I know when I drive too much and ignore my bike for a few days my psoas goes into spasm, my right knee starts to ache, and my low back gets very tight. When I ride, my muscles get tighter, but that's a safer, healthier tightness.
Wow, I went off on a tangent...but I'm certain y'all get it!
