In the same way "It'd been a whole two hours since he texted me," is OK, but again we're talking about a past condition that at that moment should be resolved. The "it's been" implies an ongoing condition, but "had ridden" implies a past condition.
"It's been years since I had ridden a bike" is mixed tense. With that out of the way, the use of certain tenses with "has/had been" doesn't always make sense. "It had been years since I wrote my brother (before he called me out of the blue)." The "had been" implies that something happened afterward and whatever condition was true before is now in some way resolved. "It has been years since I wrote my brother." Simple statement of fact that exists up to the present moment. These two uses have subtly different meanings.
