erm - trick i learnt from driving a car (hiss spit) was to brake slightly after you go through a partic wet bit. gets rid of the moisture, means you can brake better when you need it. admittedly, when it's really pissing down the improvement is from 'no braking effect' to 'might as well have breathed out heavily', but the rest of the time it works okay.
would never ride in heavy rain in town on a geared bike though. kamikaze shit. fixed is the only way in winter.
edit - i am on a complete tangent. woo!
