Other things to invest in:

decent lights.
reflective wear.
a good lock.

it is also a good idea to develop a strong sense of self-righteousness so that you can get that adreneline boost from shouting at motorists.

Cycling to work is great though, great way to wake yourself up for the day ahead.

My top tips would be:

Watch out for drivers turning left across you without indicating
Always always always always get a few feet ahead of the traffic when waiting at lights. If possible try to position your self in front of the traffic line so that when the lights go green they don't roar off and slam into as they drift across.

Oh, and get a rud bike
