Is it really impossible to ride a bike when it rains heavily? Will it be easy to be struck by lightning?

It is dangerous to ride a bike when it rains heavily, especially in thunderstorm weather.

First of all, the road surface is usually slippery during heavy rain, and the riding stability will be affected.

Secondly, if accompanied by lightning, riding a bicycle outdoors may be struck by lightning, especially at high places or near metal objects. Therefore, in thunderstorm weather, it is suggested to find a safe place to shelter from the rain until it stops or stops.

In addition, when riding, you should pay attention to wearing appropriate shoes and clothes, keep your body dry and insulated, avoid using conductive objects such as metal objects, and try to avoid high places and near metal objects.

In short, in thunderstorm weather, in order to ensure personal safety, it is recommended to avoid cycling as much as possible.
