Before getting out on your bike, make sure it is in safe working order. If you are uncertain, take it to one of the local bike shops for a tune-up. Call ahead to see when they can take a look at your bike. 

Be visible when riding! Put lights on your bike, and wear reflective clothing if possible. The Be Bright at Night page has more tips on being reflective.
