... i am riding my steel framed bicycle high on a mountain in a thunderstorm. am i at a higher risk to be struck by lightning than if i were hiking? what if i were hiking with aluminum trekking poles? would my meaty 2.3" rubber bike tires act as an insulator and would i be gravy just riding along? would i be at greater risk to have a tree struck by lightning fall on me than actually being struck my lightning myself?

Next question: Have any of you been struck by lightning riding your bicycle or otherwise?
