El Pelon probably has the best advice but, just because this kind of thing is fun to me...

If going to straight up fight it, maybe you could see if there are any guidelines (manufacturer or government) on operating the radar gun that may have been impossible to follow when using it on a bicycle? Meaning, is it standard procedure to aim at a headlamp, bumper, lic. plate etc?

How sure can the officer be that he wasn't measuring a mechanical part of the bike that is moving faster than the ground speed (a crank arm for example is moving ground speed plus RPM speed)? Maybe ground speed isn't the term I'm looking for here.

Is there any data to suggest that the radar has even been tested on bicycles or similar sized objects? Maybe it recorded other traffic, if any?

Again, not a lawyer, the above is jsut for fun may be the worst advice possible for all I know. I wouldn't try it on my own. Court is about procedure as much as actual valid arguments.
