As a bicyclist -- grown man -- I have on one occasion had a teenager lean out of a car and try to push me over. There were several in the car, and it was planned; the car slowed down and moved close to the bike lane where he could reach me.
But it was a bad neighborhood, and I was on guard. He missed. There was no payback at the time, unfortunately, but I have no doubt that he's done something even more stupid since then, and suffered for it. When people escape consequences from their actions, they usually take it as permission to keep acting the same way. Until they get unlucky, and their karma eats them alive.
