Consider a worst case scenario:
Person A is a fit cyclist
Person B is a sedentary obese person
Person A dies after being run over by person B.
Person B dies a few years later of complications due to a sedentary lifestyle.
Now I ask this: if you were to choose the way you were going to go, wouldn't kicking it while doing something you love beat Person B's life ending experience?
Of course, I actually intend to die in bed with my lovely mistress at the ripe age of 110.
