I want to start mountain biking. But I don't know how to do this. I guess I need a bicycle first. But what then?

The Bicycle is the easy part.

First you need to find a Mountain.

Then you'll need to get some other gear, start practicing for long jarring trails, which means you'll need to do bike riding a lot.

Someone stole my witty "find the mountain" joke, man.
Try and find some woodland biking trails in your area; it'll give you the feel for rough terrain. Beyond that, I have no idea. I'm a runner, not a biker.
