So there I was, sat in town centre traffic, running on battery power, when I became aware of a face peering in through the passenger side window. I looked round to see a middle aged cyclist trying to attract my attention.

Had I unknowingly struck his cycle ? or had he accidently scraped my car ?

No ! As soon as he had caught my attention, he pointed at the car and gave me a thumbs up signal.

I presume he knew all about the Prius and was acknowledging it as a 'no exhaust fume cyclist friendly vehicle'.

The real advantage of stealth mode is that cyclists can't hear you coming

Guess this is our revenge against stealth cyclists - you know - black bike, dark clothes, no lights, no road sense....

STEALTH mode~
YEAH. Geez, it's fun to see the heads swing around wondering WHAT just flew by without even a whoosh.
