Don't go outside, you may not die. If you do cycle outside, never ever push yourself hard. Working hard can make you sweat and the sweat will go into your eyes and you will be BLIND!
I heard some people work so hard they fatigue themselves to the point where they aren't 100% aware of their situation due to fatigue. Riding for longer than 2 hours will make this happen, especially at speeds over 10mph. Sometimes people ride bikes where they don't sit upright. How stupid, do these people want to DIE??!
I always ride my comfort bike at 8mph on a trainer inside my house because I want to live.
