Sometime, I'm going to purposely ride into the side of a car.

I really don't think you riding your bike on sidewalks/ through a crosswalk makes you any better than the drivers who are breaking a different law.
I understand and agree with the OP- too many drivers don't consider how their actions affect the rest of the traffic flow. And along with the OP we could count anybody who stops past the stop line. Heck- on some the city has drawn a big X past the stop line, but people still stop there.
But unless you are walking your bike, you aren't a pedestrian, so please follow the rules of the road.
