How to get started:

Read magazines, books, internetz on gear, training technique and nutrition.
Join a club, find a friend to ride with, this'll increase fun tenfold and keeps you going.
Get a decent, not too expensive bike (alu frame + Ultegra combo).
Get proper clothing, shoes and pedals.
Find a saddle that fits you ass like a glove.
Go riding.

local bike shop.

you don't need to be fit at all.
Just pick training routes that are easy and hit the road.
