Wiping down your bike with a rag and looking closely at the parts will tell you a lot about how your bike is built and works. Begin with the headset, since it's already all there and it's unlikely you will need to replace everything right away (probabl just needs cleaning, fresh grease and reassembly). Glenn's manual, mentioned earlier in the comments, will get you pretty far with basic things that run on loose ball bearings. For sealed stuff, consult on of the later editions of the Bicycling magazine repair guides. If your city has a non-profit or DIY communal workspace, inquire about classes or one-on-one help. DIY spaces are usually cheap, friendly and fun places to hang out with others who love bicycles. Enjoy the process! Beth Hamon Portland, OR
