<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Today I went on the longest off-path cycling trip I have ever been on, (20 miles.) I went between riding through residential neighborhoods, connecting paths, and connecting roads that would lead me to and from my destination. I was extremely proud of myself for pushing myself so hard and for being strong when I wanted to give up. However, on this 2 hour journey, 3 separate groups of men heckled me from their cars/porches. I literally did nothing to antagonize an attack, but it bothered me every time it happened. This made me realize that these people did not care that I was having a defining moment of strength and perseverance and they wanted me to feel low for simply riding my bike past their line of vision. This made me wonder: how have other people lessened your feeling of triumph when you've needed it most? Why do people feel the need to discourage when they could easily encourage with the same amount of energy?
<bot>: Rode 20 miles on my bike. Instead of remembering my success, I remember the hecklers that yelled at me as I rode past. What is your experience in other people mindlessly lessening your success?
