A few of us here teach novices. Your friend should be able to get a lesson and hire a bike from a cycling instructor. So they should not need to buy a bike until they have learned how to ride. The majority of people can learn to ride in less than 2 hours.
There is also a very helpful book on teaching new cyclists.
