hi all, just a general question about cycling in inclement weather, regarding lightning.

i know common sense tells me what i really need to know, but is there any evidence or reports that riding a bicycle in rain/lightning makes a better target than say a nearby utility pole or tree or someone with an umbrella?

i got stuck in a pretty good storm on the way home from work friday afternoon. as i got closer to my house, the lightning seemed to get worse. i tried to take as many back roads as possible to avoid traffic... and being a typical guy, i pressed on. if frame material makes any difference, it's Ti.

just wondering.
