Practice riding on a lawn (NOT on asphalt). That way, when you fall (and you will, controlled, it's fine) you'll only end up with grass stains, not real scrapes.
And DON'T use training wheels--they will only slow your learning process down.
You can look at this site for tips, and if you live in the Boston area, you can go there for lessons: http://www.bicycleridingschool.org/
oh, and wear a helmet.

Definatley a helmet. And long sleeves and pants untill you get the hang of it. Hot, but less blood when you fall.
Be yourself, to the extreme!
