General Help
I would like an understanding of what all the parts of a bike are and what they are used for, also like nicknames for them because for the most part i have no idea what anyone is talking about (i.e. pegs, pads, bars, etc.)

Rob,
Roadbikerider.com has a good glossary of terms, more riding related than mechanics. If you are thinking in terms of working on your own bike, a good bicycle mechanics book is a must. I like Bicycling Magazine's Complete Guide to Bicycle Maintenance and Repair. Others have recommended Leonard Zinn's book, something like Zinn and the Art of ...
