Hi ... I'm looking to buy a bike for cycling around on weekends, for both fitness & fun. Mostly on roads, and later (much, much later) perhaps on some basic biking trails.
I'm not looking for a professional bike, just something decent ... but sufficiently adequate to cover my biking needs for several years.
Please offer any advice ... in terms of the type of bike I'm looking for, features, things to look out for when bike shopping or trying a bike, things to avoid, potential cost, general snippets of useful information, etc. Note, I'm a beginner and have no knowledge whatsoever of biking//cycling.
Thanks.

The most important thing is that you go to a real bike shop, not a department store. There you are most likely to find good advice, good bikes, and good support after you buy the bike. A good shop will also let you take it for a spin if you leave behind a credit card. Explain to them your needs and skill level, and they can help outfit you.
The biggest question is how much do you spend. More expensive bikes will be more reliable, lighter, and smoother, and will also give you room to grow into them, but would also be a waste if you end up not liking the sport and having it sitting in the garage collecting dust. Only you can decide what level of bike you should get.
As long as you go with a real brand, you'll be ok. A hybrid style bike will be good for your needs, able to handle roads and smooth, well kept trails, while remaining comfortable to ride. Don't get hung up on brand - there are a ton of good ones and you are safe with most of them. Again, as long as you shop at a good place, you won't end up with a bad bike.
The main thing is that core of the bike are good parts - the frame and brakes especially. Don't worry too much about things like seats, pedals, and other minor things which can easily and cheaply be replaced.
Good luck.
