Know how you feel -- Try going into Fred mode (if you haven't already).
Used to do the Indiana commuting as well. Now in NC and don't have as many problems but do get some heckling from time to time. My solution to the problem was to stop wearing colorful lycra. I dress like a Fred now with mismatched clothing and reflectors everywhere. It's worked wonderfully. I guess everyone figures I'm mentally handicapped now and feels sorry for me. Another guy at work also switched to Fred mode and he's seen a big difference too.
