So you kicked the door, left a dent and the driver drove away with a smile and you Scott free? That driver must have been a very sweet person because if it were me, I'd wait at the next stop for the cyclist to arrive then I'd kick in his spokes. Let him call the police, he'll answer for the damage to my door!
I don't advise kicking and denting doors!
He was driving with his car on the bike lane (which was over a sidewalk) , in an aggressive attitude, while shouting at me. He only stopped when he got stuck with a lamppost and a trashcan.
Not saying its OK to kick doors, but don't try to justify what that driver did.
