Both the bike and I are so well reflecterized, I think and hope we are quite visible.. not that I frequent night rides, but in the winter, it happens, when I get home later than planned. Some basic rules.. I fear not seeing stuff in the road, such as grates.. Don't override your light and hit something you didn't see. Slow down.. I fear my lights are not strong enough to see glass in the road. Changing flats at night are a pain.. Other than that, night rides are no big deal. Lesser traffic volume and a quiet road can be pleasing. You'll hear noises you never hear otherwise... But, not as nice as riding on a perfect sunny day with balmy temperatures.
