Routine maintenance
Can anyone give me the lowdown on what I should be doing for routine maintenance on a new road bike? I'm new to cycling and am a little unsure about what needs to be cleaned regularly, lubed, greased, etc etc.

Preventative maintenance needs are pretty basic on a new road bike. Lube the chain lightly whenever it starts to make noise or "sound dry." There will be other maintenance issues as you go along like replacing derailleur cables/housing etc., but this is more of a yearly routine and largely dependent on our skill level.
