Yeah, I bet most of us knew the local "supreme ultra-cool geek" family!
There was a guy who lived on a backroad near me and usually he rode/drove his little "car" thing.. it was solar/battery, and had pedals also which would help charge the battery. Which he needed since it was a huge hill he lived on! But, it was always super cool and ahead of it's time.
