Noooooo ! What you do is agree with them, say its terrible and dangerous. But that your bike wont fit in their car on the way home. And if they could give you 20 bucks to get a cab with bike rack. Most will walk away and stop ever bothering you.
If they do give you 20 bucks, take it, thanking them profusely, then ride home. If they ask for the money back, just blink and say "what money". Soon they too will stop pestering you.
