Wanting to get into bicycling, but not too sure where to start..

Just like the title says, I'm interested in getting into bicycling.. I just have no idea where to go to get a bike. I'm looking for one that's more on the transportation in rural areas side. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great! If you guys need more info to try and show me where to go just ask, thanks for the time fellas!
