There is much to do in Cerulean City. You will have to battle your Rival, beat a rain of trainers, stop Team Rocket from their usual deeds and of course earn another badge. The way out is blocked by a guard, who will move away after you visit Bill at his house on Route 25.

Gym battle
You might want to wait with the gym battle after you've visited Bill, since Misty can be a tough opponent at this point of the game. After you beat Misty you will be able to use the HM01 Cut, outside of battle.

Bike Shop
You may buy a bike from the shop at the southwest corner of the city. However, it costs 1,000,000, which is more money than you are capable of holding. In Vermillion City, you will receive a Bike Voucher that you can exchange in this store for a free bike.
Leaving Town
When you finally leaving Cerulean from the house where the guard used to be, a Team Rocket Grunt will stop and fight you. When you defeat him he will give you a TM28 Dig.
