Get a copy of Robert Hurst's
The Art of Cycling: A Guide to Bicycling in 21st-Century America from your library or bookstore. He covers the points mentioned by the posters and a number of others. There are other books, but Hurst's book is one of those which is practical and not dogmatic. I'm a better cyclist for reading it.
If you like courses and one is in your area, the
League of American Bicyclists offers courses and has some online materials.
