These incidents are believed to be deliberate acts, with the latest occurring overnight.

The dangerous spills have caused cyclists to lose traction and control of their bikes.

'It's of very serious concern,' Leading Sen-Constable Larson told the Herald Sun.

'Coming off a bicycle at high speed can lead to some serious injuries.

'We have concerns that there may be further incidents which could result in further people sustaining injuries or being hospitalised as a result.'

Approximately one thousand cyclists use the route that Ms Slater uses daily.
