As a member of the United States National Team, he was a bronze medalist at Trinidad and Tobago's Southern Games. Although a member of several UCI professional road cycling teams, Hibbard competed primarily as track cyclist.

Hibbard has been vocal in his support of drug-free sport. In July, 2002 he was profiled by Elliott Almond of the San Jose Mercury News. His correspondence with Irish Tour de France rider, and cycling journalist Paul Kimmage about the problem of performance-enhancing drugs in professional cycling appeared in the preface to the 2007 edition of Kimmage's book Rough Ride.[2]
