There's a reason that being struck by lightening is a metaphor for very unlikely events.
Yes, it can happen, but would rank very low on any list of threats to road cyclists.
Despite having had it strike very close (within shouting distance) a few times, I still consider poor visibility, traction and braking distance during rain storms to be the more real concerns.
