Space debris :I it's a killer.Is there anything else to watch out for?
That's an interesting question. If your helmet was very conductive it should provide a faraday cage to protect your head but may be more likely to get struck. If you really wanted to make a safer ride (to reduce the very close to zero chance of getting hit to closer to zero), I would put a lightning rod/flag on the bike. Something taller than the rider, conductive with a pointy top so a strike hits the bike not your head. Honestly, I cant see lightning protection as a criteria I even think about when looking at helmets.I was pondering whether to retire my carbon fiber helmets for a polycarbonate version.

Lit Motors' C-1 electric motorcycle will stand up for itself
As any avid biker will tell you, motorcycles have a lot of advantages over cars - they use less fuel, accelerate faster, are more maneuverable, can be parked in more places, and don't incorporate the weight of extra seating for passengers who are non-existent on solo commutes.

That's pretty cool, would have come in handy when I got stuck in a nasty traffic jam yesterday. But that whole following you around like a puppy, I'm sold lol...
