No shit you ignorant fuck, we all know exercise is good for us. Cyclists in general have no regard for the rules of the road and they often create dangerous situations with their ignorance and lack of respect. I understand that there are some cyclists out there that follow the rules but they are a minority.
I would never do anything to put a cyclist at risk but because of their attitude I will never cut them any slack either.
