There's nothing like riding a silent bike.

Please for the love of god, never use WD40 on a bike's gears. That stuff will not protect anything, in fact it draws dirt like a magnet to the dang bike.
Most bike shops will provide 2 free tune ups during the first 12 months of ownership, because the cables will stretch over time with use and will need adjusting to keep that silky smooth shifting going.
