Can I get something decent for around $500 or less? I don't really want to spend a lot as I'm not sure how serious I'll get about it, just something to try for the summer.

Don't go to Canadian Tire. You'll get something that you'll be fixing all the time, and that won't have much resell value if you decide biking isn't your thing after all.
Spend a little more and get a solid brand like a Trek from a place like
Calgary Cycle. You can get a decent bike there for $550 to $700. And they include free lifetime tuneups.
