If you read the previous posts there is some great advice on keeping dry.
When riding in the rain just be careful I guess? Don't pull on the brakes too hard, bank too much and try and avoid drain covers.
In the event of driving rain in your eyes just take it slowly and try and be aware of what is happening around you. Leave earlier than normal and arrive at your destination safe although a little soggy 
Happy and safe riding

Hi Mandy, I tried to post this earlier, but we have just had a bit of a downpour, and an electric cut, does wonders for a long reply....
I think I said... I now only cycle for pleasure..but rem when I had no choise..to go to Uni before Jeans and 'sweat' shirts
when Corduroy jackets and ironed trousers were the height of cool....In rain, wore shorts..nothing keeps your legs dry.
Best dressed was a good cycle cape wear a towel round your neck to keep out seepage..use it to dry off legs, BEFORE struggling back into trousers. Hush puppies (I think) left in locker.
I have googled cycle cape, briefly ..but could not see anything that was useful...A good cape is not too light, totaly waterproof..and most important has good thumb loops to anchor it to the bars (sic) When you cycle (slightly slower, but maybe electric would not force this you are in a dry envelope.I have actually cycled to a ball in full fig, and not looked much more dishevelled than any one else, well not after an hour.
