A video has emerged of two cyclists and a motorist having a heated argument in New York City, USA.

The footage, shot with a helmet-mounted camera by one of the cyclists last week, captures the moment the driver gets out of her car and shouts at the cyclist because he touched her car.

"The speed limit on this road is 25 miles per hour," the filmer wrote online.

"The car came very close to my friend and I while riding on this road."

The motorist in this video was reaching speeds over 40 miles per hour down a New York City street. The speed limit on this road is 25 miles per hour. We were forced to ride with traffic due to construction taking place in the bike lane preventing us to fully pass during this scene. The car came very close to my friend and I while riding on this road. So we got pissed and responded.
