Here in Fenlandshire, for part of my commute my head is the highest part of the landscape. What helmet should I where to avoid lightening strikes? Will I die if struck by lightening?
Are you on a carbon bike?
No, steel, but carbon conducts anyway.

If the lightning doesn't get you the pedants might.
Yes it does it very well. You could ride round with a nice long tank aerial on your bike like the mods use to on their scooters, would make a very good lightning conductor!!!!! Or borrow one from a church roof.
Oops, double post
💡 Chain mail and wire tyres like on the lunar rover is the only way to be safe - your own personal faraday cage?
Let us know how you get on.
Just catch up with a taller cyclist and pass the burden over to him/her!?
Wear an all-in-one rubber suit to insulate yourself from the bike....?
Recumbent bike?
I suspect you will die in agony, but at least you have a positive outlook on life to compensate 😆

I'm just going to wait til it stops before I ride home, which according to the forecast is.... oh. Thursday.
wear a helmet that looks the roof of a car and tyres that will fit on a car, in fact go in your car.
It's obvious that you need a recumbent bike
