After reading this item I think I need to count my lucky stars.
In 2010, I had just finished a tour through the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and Alberta.
I was riding across the wide open spaces of Alberta on the way to Calgary through a thunderstorm. I wasn't directly over me, but was close enough to be "thrilling." There was no shelter so no point in stopping.
It appears that the common belief that rubber tires would insulate you is just a "old wives tale" and I won't be doing that again!
