I really like those stealth bike racks where they put a car shape on the road facing side so that the cars don't get upset that they lost a potential parking spot.

They'll never see through this clever ruse;. Most cars have pretty poor eyesight; the only way they'll figure it out is if they honk at it, and it doesn't respond convincingly.

I would legitimately love a study on whether this makes drivers more or less likely to be angry, because anything other than complete neutrality would be hilarious.

Like a decoy to a duck, the problems only start when the car attempts to mate with it
