I think a lot would depend on what's your style, where are you going to be cycling? There are some general categories like commuter, mountain, road, recently more popular gravel which now days are more like mountain bikes from 90's. Most important is to start riding wherever you are, whenever you have time. Pick something you can afford and won't break your heart if you drop it (like 10K super bike).
I'm mostly trying to get into cycling to see if it can supplement some of the traveling I do around town. Also, thanks for the advice!
I'd like to add that I personally think a mountainbike is a great starter. It's not the fastest bike you can get but the big tires are more forgiving with obstacles which is great especially for beginners. The slimmer your tire is the more attention you have to pay to the road. On a race bike you can't zone out during the ride.The downside is that you're lacking the capacity to carry a lot of weight comfortably so if you plan to do that go for a bike that's more focused on comfort.
