Try Aldi or Lidl for some basic cycling gear. The have sales on every so often. Most of the kit is OK. Some is rubbish, but cheap, so no great loss.
Just been out for my first ride!

Well done from me too, Skyrocket! Careful of them pedestrians, they have a tendency to walk into your wheels 
One of my bikes is slightly too big (I am 1.60 m. don't know inches
) because my lbs sold it to me from display, not ready to ride. He said "don't worry, it will fit fine".
Now I know better than to buy a bike without at least sitting on it first!
Lucky handlebars and stem could be adjusted, but, yes, the stretching forwards gave me sore neck and sore arms.
Once you get a better fitting bike your pain will disappear
(sore legs might still happen 
)
