Well, my knowledge of electrical stuff and the exact workings of earth rods is slim to say the least, but I have just discovered that there are 2 earth rods in the ground in the bike stand at work.
I'm probably being totally paranoid, but will this have an effect in a thunderstorm? I.e. will lightning be more likely to hit the earth rod? If that is the case, what would be the effect on my poor little bicyle parked on top of it or, if I try to avoid the stand right on top, about a yard away from it?
Please tell me the 2 are completely unconnected and my bike can rest there in (relative) peace!!!!
