I am new to cycling, and I love it. I just bought a BMC Streetfire, and I want to know and learn everything there is to know about my bike and bikes in general. Any suggestions on a good book to read or where I can go to learn everything.

"The Art of Urban Cycling" (Book by Robert Hurst) gives a nice history on the development of bikes and autos and has plenty of tips for surviving in the urban setting.

Good tips here...
Also, the Complete Bike Book by Chris Sidwells is a nice reference for just starting out.
The Art of Urban Cycling is in a new edition called more simply, "The Art of Cycling". It's excellent.
Congrats on the Streetfire. I LOVE that bike and am in the process of trying to convince my brother-in-law to buy one.
Welcome to the madness! :D
