What?!? You question the wisdom of hiding huddled in our caves to  
protect ourselves from a mutated bat-virus? ;-)

But yes, Spike, I agree that sunlight played in a role in protecting  
many of the bikers. The UV-radiation in direct sunlight would destroy  
most viruses because it mucks up their genomes which is much of what  
the payload of a virion is. Also considering they were bikers alcohol  
might have played some small role also.
