Just get a beater bike and start running into the cars
this is not legal advice
Thats how Casey Neistat got his youtube start back in 2012 or so.
The bike lane in NYC was blocked by some bullshit, so he peddled over into the road and a cop ticketed him for riding in the road. So he decided to just ride straight into any obstacle in the bike lane, including construction, delivery trucks, and cop cars. The video went viral, which back then meant something.
The kicker? The ticket was bullshit. He broke no laws by joining the lane. The cop just made shit up and fined him $50, which he unknowingly paid.
Just carry a hammer.
I dont even bike.
Get a bike with stud tyres and make a tire track right down the middle of the car as if a bike had just driven over the car.
That's closer to what I was thinking. Most of the suggestions in here are outright vandalism which is an asymmetric response and not very defensible. But if you're physically capable, depending on traffic conditions, I'd feel like the safest route to go is over the top of the car. I'd do it for a car-shaped rock, so a car-shaped car is no different.
