i'd recommend starting with a cheap used bike, then figuring out what you like and want.
you might decide that you want to go fast on paved roads, or maybe you decide that you want to ride mountain trails, or do cyclocross. it's hard to know before you start.

Do some research but most of these are knockoffs made in the same factory as Trek and others.

Not an expert but I'd probably:
- Obviously eyeball it. Pull the seat tube out and look inside for rust, etc. Check out the gears for broken or bent cogs, that kind of stuff.
- Spin the wheels to see if they catch on the brakes to determine if they're true. Even if they aren't probably an easy fix with a spoke wrench.
- Take it for a ride and run up and down the gears, try shifting several gears at once and seeing if you can make it jump off gears. Even if that happens, also likely an easy fix with a new chain (if it's slack) or adjusting the cable.
The good thing is that a bike shop can replace / adjust cables and all that for not a lot of $.

Get to know the component hierarchy. You can judge a bike pretty quickly based on its component group, and the easiest component to look at is the rear derailleur. The Shimano heirarchy, from worst to best, goes something like
Claris
Sora/RSX (vintage)
Tiagra/RX-100 (vintage)
105
Ultegra/600 (vintage)
Dura Ace
