I skirted these showers on the way home from work and avoided the intersection of Bellemeade and Evans (my normal route.) I was more concerned about the lightning down by the river. Can you be struck by lightning while on a bicycle? Earlier in the day I saw a fire truck and rescue boat, but it wasn’t headed towards the river. I was slow to realize that they were rescuing automobile passengers rather than boaters.

You cannot be struck by lightening in an automobile, but you can be struck on a boat. I’m not at all sure about a bike … I mean, the rubber tires are not exactly what I’d consider significant, and if I recall correctly, it’s not actually the rubber between you and ground in a car, but the metal cage you’re in which protects you.

In this case the size of the potential target might be the most relevant aspect.
