It's one thing to ride in the rain, it's potentially deadly if you ride during a T-Storm. The best course of action is to wait out said storm if at all possible. If caught out in the open, get off and away from your bike, even if it's not a steel frame, as it's a potential lightning rod because the bike is wet.
