I put up with the laughing n' snickering all through school. Now, Unless all those that ever teased me in school, got on a bike and have gone as far as I have, I am the one that can laugh n' snicker now. I remember one specifically that was picking on me with a bunch of other kids in 8th Grade gym class. This particular kid was bigger than me, but not older. That particular day, he was definitely a 'tub of lard'. Thirty years later, he may still be a 'tub of lard', while I can ride a bike with ease.
