Everytime, someone says or implies something negative about your cycling, retaliate with something about their negative difference (though that seems kinda immature).

2) Ignore them completely. Ignore the remark and just don't respond at all. This really annoys some people. Eventually, they'll associate their rude comments with your cold shoulder.

3) Don't just ride your bike, but work-out during your break, and anytime you can seize the moment. Tell them that your training for some kinda competition (triathlon perhaps) or something. They'll just see your cycling as part of your training regimen.

4) Tell them that Jesus loves them...Many people don't like hearing anything about god, the bible, or anything religious. Take advantage of this peculiarity. Just say, "Well Jesus loves you anyway!"...Eventually, they'll associate your repeated religious comment with there snide remarks and they'll stop.
