You know the bike after a while of riding it, so you can tell immediately if anything is bent or broken.
Visually check everything, spin the crank and the wheels and try the brake(s).
if it's all ok ride it, and try riding it no-handed if it goes in a straight line you're good to go. If it goes to one side check your forks are straight.
