I have yet to even attempt to change a tire yet. Not only do I not know where to start, I realize now I don't even have the special tools to do so. I watched a few videos and found this one to be very informative and thorough. Don't get too distracted by the pretty bikes in the background. Enjoy the accent.

Bike Week: Bike Components
Its Bike Week and it has nothing to do with Laconia NH!
Just like swimming, I am really new to biking, or do I call it cycling? What is more official? I acquired my first road bike only a couple weeks ago, so I have a lot to learn. What better way to start than to learn the parts of the bike. This will give people the illusion that I know what I am talking about and help me talk the big talk when I have to deal with some snobby little bike shop employee.
I found this great diagram from biker Jim Langley, Bicycle Aficionado, that identifies all the components. There are some good other resources he has compiled on this site as well.
