I totally agree that riding and wearing the proper gear is essential, says Paula.

Today we'll talk about actually riding on the street with other traffic, and the unfortunate existence of what some might call brainless-zombie-nimrods, but we won't call them brainless-zombie-nimrods, right Pete!

Right!

I guess we'll call them the oblivions for short. The oblivions are people who don't pay any attention to what they are doing, including their driving.

The oblivions are incredibly dangerous, and even though we can't be easily rid of them, knowing about them can help us make the best out of our motorcycling.

Unfortunately, even the most seasoned rider in the best gear can be vulnerable to the oblivions.
