I recently moved to the Phoenix AZ area. While riding my bike, the parts of my skin that touched the metal experienced a small electrical shock. At first, I thought there was a thorn in my skin, but when I rechecked and then experienced the same sensation, I realized the cause. It was neat but I can see how it may get annoying as time goes on. I considered putting electrical tape on the areas of the bike that may come in contact with my skin but now I'm concerned this may cause the charge to build up and recreate your own more intense experience...
