Knowing the little tricks

Inspired by a position I saw at today's Street Chess, here is a little study with White to play and win. As the winning idea is quite well known, I doubt this is an original creation, but  it does identify one key idea in positions of this type. In the actual game there were a pair of rooks (and the black pawns were a lot further advanced), which actually saw Black win.
