Maybe it's unhealthy if you're not exercising but there's nothing unhealthy about using it as a fuel source when riding.
On today's ride I drank a bottle of coke. I drink maybe a couple of cokes a year. On a 3 1/2 hr ride I don't think it's unhealthy to drink coke. Drinking it every day, on the other hand, might not be a great idea.
