[quote=Anonymous]If you want to run a marathon, you'd start by walking around the block, then walk a few miles, then mix in a few minutes of jogging, then get to the point where you could jog a few miles, etc.  You might want a coach eventually, but you don't need one to get started.

Similar, you just need to start biking. The type of bike doesn't matter, just that you do it regularly, starting slowly and with short distances and then building up.  If there's someplace convenient to bike outside, do that. I think it's way more fun than an exercise bike and there are a lot of great trails in DC.  -http://www.waba.org/resources/maps-and-documents/  (If you'd prefer to bike indoors, do that. If you don't have a bike, get one, either used (and then take it to a bike shop for a check and any necessary repairs) or go to a bike shop. Don't get one at Walmart or similar.

Eventually, you'll want a road bike, but if you're just starting out, get a hybrid or city bike.
