what about all the oil that's in the road isn't that an issue and that's why I should never ride in the middle well as for oil in the center of your lane or out on the road honestly you really never need to worry about that unless you're around an intersection around intersections yes cars are idling they're waiting and overtime that oil does leak out and kind of pull up right at a stop sign or anywhere really around an intersection but as for being out on the road and actually riding around like in this case even if a car or truck is leaking oil it's not like it's going to be coming out in a solid stream it's going to be a few drops every now and then so it's really not a big deal if you run over a little bit
