I keep doing it until he physically assaults me (which I would welcome) or cries like a baby. We'll see who walks away from that encounter feeling embarrassed and intimidated. It's not a good idea to call anyone something inappropriate no matter how well you know them.
two thoughts (a little on the evil side):

1. after the wuss comment, add "I should be at home cleaning my guns but the voices in my head said to go out riding." right before the hysterical laugh. Generally is a conversation stopper.

2. Go up to said scrawny cyclist, get into his personal space, put a hand on his shoulder and look at him really intensely and say, "Dude. My parents were married. Yours?" while sort of squeezing his shoulder in your grip. Hysterical laugh is optional at this point.

Either one would probably stop it for good. If you really wanted to mess with him, a couple of weeks later show up in one of those Fat Bastard jerseys and don't say a word.

Only yourself, I think.

Anything else is presuming humor where in fact a lot of negativity can come.

Too many people are used to the fatty pandering by society, where no one is allowed to say what they think when they see a fat slob. So, some guy calls fat ****s fat bastards, and people are like,

I can't say I've met any less than 160 lbs people where I'd not be willing to back it up... no internet needed. We never find out who the "tough guy" is until the punches start flying. Some people say stupid things. It's even more stupid knowing that you might get your butt kicked for saying it... but, to each his own. Hopefully you'll be happier tomorrow when you can get back to 3rd grade. I don't remember what grade they start teaching you when it's just better to stay quiet.
