The kicking story is most likely BS. any sound kick to car would cause a lateral force that could likely result in the bicyclist falling. Never underestimate gyroscopic force's ability to keep a cyclist upright. The gyroscopic forces are minimal - basically enough to allow hands-off riding on reasonably decent pavement (assuming appropriate bicycle geometry) but no more than that. Besides, a mounted cyclist is not in a position to effectively kick anything.
