If you have to ride a bike, be sure you have full reflective gear on (clothing/helmet) and reflective tape and lighting on your bike. Proceed with caution for every car, do not assume the driver sees you.

I used to encounter a bicyclist at 5am some mornings, and I can tell you from experience, he was difficult to see. JMHO

Very good advice.

It is dangerous if you ride in the snow.

You might want to ride on the side streets instead of the sidewalks along main roads. That will keep you away from the drunks coming home from the bar hopefully, or at least give you enough time to get on the sidewalk before they pass (I'd do this for any car actually).

Those fluorescent vests that road workers wear are very visible at night. You could wear it over your work clothes. Not sure where they sell them though.

I bought mine at one of the home improvement superstores, in the same area where they sell safety glasses.

Warren has its shady parts especially if you get closer towards Detroit. I wouldn't venture too far away from main roads or well populated areas.

If you are North of 696, I'd say no prob. South of it...keep your head on a swivel.
