Welcome Berbes.
I am 370ish and I have over 3000 miles on a Giant Sedona DX weighing between 370 and 300 (and back up since my riding diminished). Most major manufacturers have similar bikes that should do the job.
Over at bikeforums.net they have a subforum for Clydesdales (a term for us 200+ pound riders) and there are a lot of good recommendations for good bikes. Some of them already suggested here.
Hard tail mountain bikes are popular, like the HardRock (?) Also touring bikes as some have suggested specific models above.
The wheels are the bane of the clydesdale. run away from low spoke count wheels. Strong 32 spoke wheels are Ok, strong 36 spoke count wheels are better.
I also ride a 1986 Schwinn Voyageur touring bike that I have had built with modern road components including 27" wheels that I had built on modern hubs with 36 spokes and Sun CR-18 rims. I went with 27" wheels to stay with the cantilever brakes the bike came with.
Spend some time in the saddle and you will get addicted to it.
Good luck!
By the way, what part of the world are you located in? Riding partners can be a big help!
