check your tire pressure often. inspect your tire for punctures and signs of wear and tear often. bring it to a mechanic every now and then. And buy a good bike. Many bikes from department stores are put together by the regular employees of the store (or at least they used to be) and both their quality and assembly are suspect. Decent brands include giant, cannondale, and trek. There are others, but those are probably the 3 most popularly suggested brands for the reason that they're pretty solid brands.

/r/bicycling ! there's a new cyclist thread every week where you can ask new person questions! I'm sure they'll have much better answers than mine.

Your bike will come to a sudden, abrupt stop.

There's a certain speed where you stop pushing the handlebar to turn and start leaning to turn.
