360# 6'4 new rider needs advice

As the title says I weigh 360 pounds and am 6 ft 4. I'm 23 and haven't touched a bike since I was 12. (Hence the reason I'm now a uber clyde!) I've found walking/jogging to not be my cup of tea but if I'm to get down to 250 I need to find cardio I can stick with. I'm looking for a bike to ride 5-6 days a week, paved ground only, and I'm looking to spend no more than 400-500.

I know nothing of bikes except for what I've been able to absorb from reading this forum for the last 5 hours

What type of bike, rims, brakes, seat, stim, etc should a heavy tall guy like me get?

Should I go to a LBS or order online?

Also, I live in Orlando if anyone is familiar with LBS here.

Thanks for the help and I'm glad I found these forums!
