slow down give yourself more distance for stopping and enjoy the ride. not alot of difference in the rain just need to use a little more caution.

We get rain every day or every other day here in the midwest.
It's a gift.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; My bike gets washed for free all the time.
&nbsp\\;
The rest of the time I'm riding it.

If your bike isn't getting clean enough in the rain then you need to ride a little longer before seeking shelter.

Clean&nbsp\\; your glasses or goggles with rain-x, helps them shed the water a little better.
