Hmm, beside on steep curves or coming to a stop/intersection, I don't really change my riding style when riding in the rain. The other day, I was riding on a MUP close to a road and a car hit a big water puddle that sent a wave of water my way. Saw it coming (my direction on the MUP was against road traffic), simply tuck my head down and let myself be drenched with the warm water (Summer rain is great). Felt invigorating
