This man filmed himself speeding down the cycle lane, as two cyclists ride side by side in the road. As he passes them, the man hurls abuse towards the two men. Turns out they were both cops. That's why one of the cyclists wanted him to pull over to have a chat. He eventually handed himself into the police. The man has been issued a court attendance notice for a number of offenses, including using his mobile phone while driving, offensive language and for driving on the path.
personally, i do think he made a point.

Wait a second, he was criminally cited for "offensive language"?

But WHY were they not on the cycle path?

Probably in Australia, as I know for a fact unfortunately is the case in Spain, "race" bicycles like these are excempt from the cycle path rules.
2 riding side by side is also legal here (before it was for groups of 8 or more, which made sense now also for smaller groups), although it hinders overtaking.
Here people come on holiday with their bikes because they know they are in cowboy country as far as the rules are concerned. I am really thinking of getting a large V8 diesel pick up to charcoal the lycratards when overtaking them.
Even my wife hates them and she has a more measured personality.

You of all people want to "roll coal" on cyclist's? wouldn't that be a little hyporitical of the most global warming supporting person alive on the internet (you)?

Hypocritical? No.
