270 pounder - with a 2009 Giant Rincon and few questions

first off, I dont know **** about bicyles! I wont even pretend... But I want to jump right in and Im anxious to learn, so any info u can give is GREATLY appreciated.. Today I got a 2009 Giant Rincon XL frame. Got liners in tires, and the front / back LEDS. Thats all the upgrading i dared to do as of now. Now for the dumb questions:








Shifting = Im absolutley a fish outta water, what are the does and do not's??? I asked the guy today and he basically said u click this or this, its easy. nice guy, but is it really that easy? do u have to be pedaling, etc??

what is the basic maintenance i should do? WD40 the chain before each ride?

tire inflation pressure?

like i said, im ass backwards in the bicycle world but i got a cool bike and i want it to get the most out of it and have it last a long time. any and all replies are greatly appreciated!!!!
