I had a set to tonight with 2 couples who had set up table and chairs, dinner and wine and were having a dinner party in the middle of the canal path - next to their canal boats...I had stop,get off my bike walk round them along the keystone and back onto the canal path much to the annoyance of them, they told me to be more careful and that I shouldnt be going so fast, I said that they shouldnt really set up a cafe on the public canal path as its narrow enough...they then said I shouldnt be on it anyway and that I was breaking the law...I asked them had they seen this before and pulled out my cycle permit for the canal path...they just sat there and said nothing so I explained what it was...told them if they are going to talk law at least have some brain cells to back up what they are on about...got on my bike and off I went...
first time I have had abuse from canal boaters as they are all normally lovely friendly peeps...
