Start here. http://www.parktool.com/index.asp You can also check out your local college and see what type of interest courses they have. Sometimes they have bicycle maintenance classes. You can also check out your local bike shop an see if they run courses. See if they will take you on as an intern (work for free, or work for parts). Good luck. Its feels pretty good knowing you can fix your own bike.
