What do I buy first to start hiking?

Sleeping bag, Sleeping pad, shelter, backpack. In that order.

Quality boots or if your wallet is a little light, at least running shoes

Trailrunners are enough 80% of the time imo. Of course you should have decent boots as well. I recommend Lundhags. I love mine (Lundhags Synchro mid's).

Bumping for tips on how to carry maximum amount of water on a bicycle

In the tires.

You mean in pannier bags?

boots/shoes and a day pack. Day hiking is a good start, overnighters come later.

Get a second hand water bottle and go.
You need not buy a single but a little extra water will go a long way

In a steal rainbarrel that is welded to the handlebars of course
