ride it all as much as you want.
If any one questions you you can either tell them to eff off in which case you can carry on your way, argue about it in which case you'll spend twenty minutes trying to convince an arrogant cock that he's wrong (you'll fail - he's an arrogant cock), or you can just carry on riding and ignore the arseholes.
Either way just ride where you want. You will never, ever be fined or stopped by someone who actually has the power to do so.
Just ride 'em. Be courteous to people, slow down etc. Canals in London could get pretty busy. If people give you gyp, just smile in that zoned-out kinda way and carry on. No reason why you can't enjoy canals on your bike.
Or maybe there is, but **** it!
I regularly ride the Aylesbury link and then onto the Grand Union - never had a problem, often chat with the Waterways guys.
Except bells are no good, as the walkers get upset as they think they are aggressive - so usually just slow, and shout.
Been talk of offroad LEJOGs etc - how much of it could be done in England on towpaths? ie N to S or vice versa.
I think Dave 360 off here did Manchester -> London almost all on canal towpaths last summer sometime.
While they're good routes and an easy traffic free way of linking places up I'd hate to do long distances on them - if you're doing an off-road LEJOG why not at least take in some proper MTBing scenery as well?
Yeah think of all the punctures! I did two miles down my local canal last night and ended up with three punctures!!!
Junkyard are you back at Botany?
well somewhere between there and my regular mooring
There at the minute but that was due to hole in boat now welded.
