Either they are just giving you the business BECAUSE they consider you one of the team, or because you are not considered one of the team. Which is the actual case, only you can decide. My best advice, grow a thicker skin, give back as good as you take and have fun doing it.
If someone pinches your ass...grab em and give em a big sloppy kiss on the mouth...they will either quit doing so going forward or ask you out on a date.
I work in a small office, and most of us have worked together for over 10 years. We all are part of the same team who can dish it out and take it, and act like brother and sisters most days. I get teased about riding some days, but they don't see the 15 pounds I lost riding while most of them have gained weight and all I have to do is point at my gut to get the kidding to stop.
