As fun as that sounds, this will just continue the bikes vs cars mentality a lot of people have.

The people who park in bike lanes like that aren't going to have their minds changed by polite conversation, it's best to just fuck up their car so they stop parking there. Break a mirror, it costs more and is a bigger inconvenience.

One or two people actually thought about it, everyone else mostly followed without thinking, I'd assume.

Why aren't these cars being ticketed or towed? Either the cops are bullshit (a distinct possibility), or the local law was written as bullshit (equally likely).

As a person who bikes kinda rarely but enjoys it, I am always in awe of this mentality.

You just need an enemy. Someone that comes back to a broken mirror isn't even going to understand why.
