My personal take, as a bike rider, use those corvid smarts (yes I know they're not technically corvids, but they fill the niche, and they're smart)
Jerky, throw it for them when they swoop. It lasts for the breeding season, and they will remember you (They're not called the black and white mafia for nothing, and their protection is relatively cheap). Next time you ride past watch the guy/gal behind you get swooped.
