Avoid lightning & Nothing he could have done

[LongRanger_imp]

It was reported today that a 45-year old rider was struck by lightning and killed while riding down I-95 in Florida this past weekend. He was wearing a helmet.

There was a similar occurrence near Boulder, Colorado, about a decade ago, and likely more incidents since then.

Weather isn't always avoidable but if you see lightning, it's probably best to get off the bike and seek shelter.
