Karen- When I had my little Yellow Beetle I loved waving at other Beetle drivers. In 2001 it was still gaining popularity in Texas and I got a lot of waves back. By the time I got rid of it in late 2004 the novelty had faded for most people, but not me! I miss my Venus (her name), sadly leases aren't practical to buy out.

I always wave at other cyclists. Generally I am trying to share the happiness I am feeling. I also wave with a big smile at angry drivers.
