A motorist sparked fury online after posting a picture of two cyclists riding side-by-side on a main road next a bike lane.

'Single file c****,' one commented.
'Just drive on the bike path,' another wrote.
'Some small nails will sort them out, just small enough to puncher their tyres not car tyres,' someone said.
'2 for 1 deal when side by side...throw a stick [through] the front wheels n bam,' one suggested.
The online discussion got heated when one Facebook user, who seems to be the motorist who took the photo, said he put the window down and asked the cyclists why they weren't on the bike path instead.
However, one Facebook user defended the cyclists, saying, 'It is not a bike path dimwit...it is a shared path with pedestrians, dogs...It is not safe for a cyclist to commute at speed on those paths.
'Coupled with the fact that perth bogans go out of their way to smash as many stubbies as they can on these shared paths.
'Go and b*tch about traffic lights that interfere with your journey more than the odd cyclist,' said the man.

Although one Facebook user defended the cyclists, many disagreed with him and insisted that the cyclists use the shared path meant for bikers and pedestrians (screenshot pictured)

Earlier this week driver Thomas Harris was charged after filming himself abusing cyclists blocking a road while he drove on a bike path.
The video went viral with many slamming the cyclists for choosing not to use the expensive purpose-built cycle lane.
In the video, an irate motorist can be seen driving down Swamp Road, between Dunmore and Jamberoo on NSW's south coast, when he comes across the cyclists.
'What's the point of us spending this money if you're not going to use it, you f**king d***heads,' the man could be heard shouting at the pair.
Officers confirmed on Tuesday that Mr Harris had been charged with using offensive language, driving on the footpath and driving using a mobile phone.

Similar situations have been reported, with motorists filming cyclists riding on the main road instead of using the bike lanes (stock image)
