I really love Claude's attitude. Instead of letting everyone else, who doesn't understand what you're doing, bring you down, stand tall and pursue excellence in what you do (cycling, in this case). If you don't give up, others will
see you profiting from it and will want what you've got. Instead of letting others change you, let your steadfastness change them. After all, we're doing something very good...why quit?
Claude is not the only one who has discovered this "power." I found that others where I work are really impressed with what cycling to work has done for me, even though before they thought I was weird. I never cease to get a positive mention from somebody, and it is often about my good health. I hope I am influencing others by my lifestyle, if not my words.
