I only have like $500.. so.. I hope there's my future bike for me..
I recommend that you consider looking at "Entry Level" road bikes or mtn bikes whichever you prefer. Then I recommend that if you plan to ride roads go with a road bike but if you ride in the woods go with mtn bike. Entry level bikes are a bit cheaper. I recommend that you search for a bike store in Canada in order to get a proper fit of the bike. An inproper fit of the bike can make your ride feel bad and you will lose interest. For your first bike, buying online might not be wise but there are well known catalogs out on the web. I hesitate to recommend a site, for fear you will of propagating a bad fit.
Find a local shop and see what they have used, or even NOS. I picked a frame that was 3 years old and never out of the box for cheap. You can also check with your local cycling clubs, cycling paper, ect. Getting a used mid level bike is much better than a cheap entry level bike.

Yes! Go into a bike shop and learn about the bikes/bike sizes. Even if they are way out of your price range just go learn about them and then if you do end up buying a bike online you will get a good sense of what you want/should look for. If you have an ill fitted bike and you pound out heavy mileage on it you will end up hurting yourself so research, research, research!
