Random Acts of Hybrid Kindness

I got my first "thumbs up," actually it was a peace sign, from a Honda Insight owner today! :mrgreen:

While slowing down to make a turn the Insight passed by and I was flashed a "peace" while the occupent checked out my Prius! Rock on hybrid community!

That almost sounds like anti-road rage!

A good example of a friendly community are the motorcycle people. Long ago the greeting from one biker to another was a raised fist ("power to the people"). This is long forgotten and now it's mostly an open wave. Exceptions occur. There are a lot of Harley Davidson owners who think they are the only ligimate bikers so they only wave to their own kind. Well they'll come around eventually. Maybe they don't wave out of safety concerns after all all that shaking could make you fall off.
So a friendly wave Hybrid to Hibrid (not half a peace sign) usually does it. You may even see a biker give you a wave; that's me.

You're half right! They don't fall off. But if they take their hands off of the handlebars, the bike just rattles itself to pieces out from under them. :crazyeyes:
