Wow- lots of really BAD advice in this thread! Seems like people are ignoring your post and replying as if you asked if a microdose of .35g is enough to trip balls. How silly...
It's your very first time and you're asking about safety while riding a bicycle! Your plan is perfect - start low, .35g is fine. Gauge how that feels and bump it up in the future if you want more of the feeling. The future is wide open my friend, no need to rush into things. Especially if it's your first time and you plan on riding a bicycle. 
words of wisdom.

No, bad answer. OP asked:

Not at all asking "will I trip balls" but "will I feel physical effects". Answer is most likely not, just like everybody keeps saying. And the threshold effect is well known by many.

There's no harm in what you plan, but don't expect to get a feeling for what a larger dose is like. On that dose I usually feel a little bit yawny, might experience extremely subtle changes in perception of brightness of colors, and might get a tiny bit emotionally tweaked, either nervous, glad or sad, or all 3 at once, for like an hour tops.
That said, at even slightly larger doses (about 2x, still "nothing") I have sometimes been blown away at unexpectedly strong effects, wanting/needing to lay down. It is extremely unlikely to happen to you the first time at that dose, but the lesson I've learned is that set and setting matters NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE DOSE. No, you don't need to prepare to meet your maker on .35g, but if you go into it without at least a respectful mindset, you might regret it. Even a tiny amount of sacred is sacred.
So if there's any risk, it's that you'll be OVERCONFIDENT that the dose is basically nothing, and therefore not worthy of you approaching with respect.
My first dose was 2.5g, and I rode a bicycle. In retrospect, I was lucky nothing bad happened. Physical control of the bike was no problem, but being in public where there's no control over the social environment, well, I could have gotten into very uncomfortable situations. I would never try that now.

So true. It's why I don't do small doses very often - you can feel the impulse to go there, but lack the propulsion.

.35g are you serious? You aren't going to feel much, and should probably not eat for 5 hours prior. Still, you won't get visuals at .35 and it might be frustrating wanting more. i suggest ATLEAST half eighth.

Harrishroom said: Alright alright, there's nothing wrong with small doses, especially since one can't know what to expect. But you are probably overestimating them, I say go for 1 gram, I would imagine it is impossible to have the infamous "bad trip" on that small of a dose.

healing said: My first dose was 3.5g. Good trip, but a little confusing. I found my sweet-spot at 2.5g. Full on trip, some OEVs, good CEVs, nice headspace, not confusing.
I would recommend 2g for a first timer. 0.35g is a waste of mushrooms. You won't feel anything.

Anxiety, insomnia, weird body load. Basically he got in that in between state and didn't like it. It's a weird place to be. Basically stuck in the come up for a few hours.

OP will likely feel anywhere between nothing and a very light body buzz from 0.35g - better off with 1-1.5g in a controlled environment to test your tolerance.

The problem I have is that I have no one to take them with. My only real option at this point in time is to do it outside (I wouldn't want to do it just sitting in my room myself; I just feel depressed sitting in my room as it is sober so I don't think it's the right setting then!) and I wouldn't want to end up tripping balls, on my own, outside and my first time, with no one to reassure me, etc.
If I actually had friends to take them with I'd happily take them indoors somewhere and try a stronger dose for my first time.
So there's just all these things for me to think about. Perhaps I am just being a coward though - I've read plenty of trip reports of people taking 1g+ for their first time on their own just sitting in their room! But I'm unsure. I mean, I get very anxious on just weed when thinking of existence and stuff like that. I have no doubt that reality, existence, identity - amongst many other philosophical issues - would be on my mind, and I'm just worried it might be somehow scary.

I do low doses from time to time and enjoy them... That said, I've been on the other side too. Eaten way too many and scared the shit out of me.

I can see both sides of the story. I am a little apprehensive to take a large dose around other people. When I trip, I prefer to not have other people project their thoughts and feelings into my mind.Thereis more than enough going on in my own mind to think about than having to worry about communication with others. A silent tripping partner would be my preference if I was going to be around another person. Acid.... completely different story- then I don't care what others project, but it is a very different chemical.
In low doses, I am completely comfortable in public and around other people, but there is certainly more to be desired from a low dose.
If you are eating cubes, 1-.5 would be an ok starting point. BUT, you'll probably want more halfway through.
