You might have been planning to buy a bicycle for a long time, but there are certain things bicycle buyers need to keep in mind.
You have to find the right bike shop to buy it from, you need to decide what kind of bike you want and you need to decide what your budget is.
There are plenty of discount stores to tempt bicycle buyers, but a much better bet would be to go to a reputed dealer and get a good bike, even if it might cost you a bit more. A reputed dealer is not enough - especially if you are a beginner, you need to find a dealer where you can ask questions to your heart's content, and be assured of respectful and informative answers. Even if you are a rookie, all bicycle buyers should be treated with respect! You also have to see if they have a servicing policy - it is always much better to choose a dealer with a servicing policy.
Now that you know where you are buying your bike from, you need to know what kind of bike to buy. Here, again, the right dealer can help bicycle buyers. The kind of bike you need depends on the kind of riding you plan to do. If you are going to do a lot of biking on rugged terrain, you might want to look at mountain bikes. They have fat tires and flat bars, and give you a lot of control, but not that much comfort. They are designed to give you as smooth a ride as possible, but the priority is to keep you from taking a spill.
Road bikes, on the other hand, are built for speed, with great aerodynamic designs. Their tires will be narrower, and they usually have drop bars.
If you plan on doing a bit of both, you might want to opt for a hybrid bike. They fall somewhere between mountain bikes and road bikes.
Cruisers are great for bicycle buyers who are not looking to ride at break neck speeds, or attempt to conquer the Everest on your bicycle. They are usually one speed bikes.
Once you have decided what kind of bike to buy, you will see that the price can range from $150 to mind boggling. Anything around $400 is usually a good buy, though you might be tempted to go for something cheaper. However, remember that this range will give bicycle buyers good reselling options, as well.
