Default Killed by lightning

This morning, on the radio, they talked about a biker who got hit by lightning on the highway. It wasn't raining yet at the time. He was projected on the middle lane and died of cardiac arrest.

Now this brings a question. The tires are isolating us from the ground, so what attracted the lightning?
