I do my own stunts
Total overreaction. Like anything there is obviously some risk to any exposure, but if we assessed risk on that basis we'd all be living underground to protect us from (some) of the background radiation.
In an ideal world you would be dancing in a field inhaling cow fart but if you want to live a modern life there will be some extra exposure to pollutants. Your commute tomorrow may be the one that kills you but in reality you are lowering your risk of acute and chronic diseases by being fit and cycling.
Plus if you have bad exposure a good few feet up imagine all those car drivers who have a fan slowly sucking air from over the bonnet into their confined space. They may look a bit pasty but they seem to be surviving even without the benefit of your exercise.
Something is going to kill you in the end, might as well do what you enjoy in the interim.
