if you were actually looking to do something constructive with your time, perhaps you could head over to some car-oriented and inform the drivers there that they are setting a bad example of themselves to cyclists when they run us over and kill us, speed, drive drunk, blare their horns &c. tell them that if they want cyclists to be nice to them, they should stop doing these things. maybe you could whip up a pamphlet to hand out.
see what their reaction is.
