Also, rear the brake is sticking from the lever. What's the best way to clean/lube these cables and brakes?
There are a lot of environmentally friendly cleaners out there, would avoid using any hydrocarbon ones if possible, as much to avoid skin contact as anything else.
For the bike, the wheel could be bearings/lack of grease in them, they are probably cup and cone, you would need cone wrenches for this, not sure where the front brake comes in to play with this.
For the rear brake levers, would undo the cables, if the issue is still there, you will know if it's an issue with the lever or cantilever, for the age of the bike, replacing the cables wouldn't be a bad idea anyway.
