- Cross metal grates/tracks and painted lines at right angles, at low speeds and ready to bail if your front wheel goes
- Visibility - if it is raining hard it will be almost impossible for motorists to see you esp. if in the dark. Use bike paths or secondary roads.
- Wide tyres help a bit.
- Keep speeds reasonable - can't brake as quickly, more likely to skid
- Rain gear - I like rain jacket and pants, mudguards on the bike. Rain gear needs to be breathable and ventable.
- Waterproof shoes or shoe covers
