Starting Cycling [Please delete]

I've decided I want to get into cycling. For personal reasons, I have to wait a month or two before I can start though it works out well as I probably don't want to start in the middle of summer. In the meantime I want to learn as much about bikes as possible so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Also I would like to hear suggestions on a first bike and why you think it's good. Budget is probably £1000-1500 just for the bike.

One more thing, I want to track my progress from zero so I would like to get a power meter, computer, etc. Computer wise I'm thinking one of the Wahoo models. For the power meter, I would like one that is accurate and measures output on both sides. I think I'd prefer a dual sided crank model but I also feel it is a bit of a waste to replace a brand new crank. Opinions?
