Huddersfield Narrow Canal The sign on the railing pleads for cyclists to dismount to go through the narrow cobbled tunnel.
One month since I was attacked on the Grand Canal bike path. Today I walked to where it happened (at daytime, with many others around) for a reconciliation of sorts, and looks like we're back to "normal". The gate is locked, waiting for its ... [more]

A dropped kerb at this entrance to the path alongside the canal in Thorne, but not at the other at #112659.
Approaching the end of the shared-use path alongside the canal in Thorne, and another 'Cyclists Dismount' sign coming into view.
'No Cycling', 'Slow' and 'Beware of Pedestrians' at a cluttered corner on the Ashton Canal. Not built for cycling, so important that the road network is adapted instead.
Opened by the Secretary of State for the Environment, but not a public right of way over the bridge.
'No Cycling', 'Slow' and 'Beware of Pedestrians' at a blind corner on the Ashton Canal path. Not really built for cycling.
A bike locked to a sign next to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal at the end of Gas Street in Skipton. This may be to avoid taking it over the stepped footbridge across the canal to the bus station and town centre.
The Leeds & Liverpool Canal towpath approaching the Three Rise Locks in Bingley. The path is quite steep here for a short distance. Half way up the locks, a ramped footbridge leads across the dual carriageway to Keighley Road in Bingley.
The Leeds & Liverpool Canal towpath in Bingley. Actually quite noisy due to the dual carriageway over the wall.
The access ramp from the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Golden Jubilee National Hospital, but nothing on the signpost to say so.
Access onto canal towpath is blocked now due to overgrown vegetation. This was left as a promised legacy from the path improvements scheme . The path was left as an alternative to a more expensive but more direct access from the Watersmeet ... [more]
Signage at the Kelpies Marina. The destinations across the canal can only be reached by crossing the lock gate in the background, or by going back to the bridge near the Kelpies car park.
The Forth & Clyde Canal and towpath looking east. The van at the locks was parked right across the path.
A barrier at the Cumbernauld Road bridge and crossing on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, but no asphalt for the bypass gap.
An 'End of Cycle Route' sign on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath near the Falkirk Wheel, but which cycle route is it that ends here? NCN754 continues to Clydebank. The ramp to the right leads to the Falkirk Wheel North Car Park.
Anonymous off-ramp from the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath to the Carmuirs Park football ground car park.
Signs for destinations on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath. A steep path next to the ruin leads down to Donald's Quay and to a path from there to The Saltings nature reserve.
The Forth & Clyde Canal towpath is now in a reasonable shape, but the path to Beardmore Street only gets worse as it goes on!
I've never worked out if these strips are badly installed drainage (for the boggy grass to the right), or anti-cycling rumble strips. A swimming contest can be seen in the background.
There is an unmarked speed hump either side of the Cleveden Road bridge on the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, which are quite hard to spot if you don't know they are there.
A connection between Netherton Road and the Forth & Clyde Canal, with damaged sign, mud, and a chicane barrier.

Bowling Basin at the end of the Forth & Clyde Canal. A few bikes tied up near boats, and some empty stands around the place.
Quaternions i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = -1 This is the bridge where mathematician William Rowan Hamilton had the inspiration to unravel a problem he'd been thinking on for a while. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broom_Bridge
The towpath on the Forth & Clyde Canal merges into the footway of the adjacent road at Lock 16. Signage includes directions to the Union Canal, although the route is just along the main road.
The path on the other side of the Forth & Clyde Canal from the main towpath. I assume the 'Cyclists Dismount' sign up ahead means that cycling is allowed along this path.
The Westburn Avenue shared-use footway crosses Westburn Avenue to get to the signalled crossing on Glenfuir Road and the bridge over the canal to the main towpath. The footway widening doesn't quite make it to the end of the shared footway.
Water street near Victoria and Albert Hotel funky drawbridge is quite fun though, when you cycle over it, it tips! But it no longer leads anywhere. https://twitter.com/SalfordMH/status/1028034123611418627 Hopefully this bridge will lead to ... [more]

Walton Park Sale Trafford a new path is created as a useful link to the canal avoiding the car park and the busy path near the canal on the opposite side of the Walton Centre, This will have helped to achieve the green flag award http://www ... [more]
A nicely laid path leads to a gate so consequently nobody uses it and the grass is being down by desire line paths at a number of locations . These could have been avoided by making this path the desire line simply by NOT having a gate.
Sale Trafford Walton Park Access from Bridgewater Canal Not great and worse still they are pointed at the top corners. Compare with the St Werburgh's Tram stop rounded corners. #99646 twitter.com/Cyclinstructor/status/1006618915261337600
UPDATE 12TH AUG ****These bikes have been removed presumably by the dredgers from Bridgewater Canal Company****Sale Trafford . A number of metal items mostly bicycles dredged from the canal. Includes a Mobike
'Cyclists Dismount' for going under the bridge with poor sightlines at Camelon Road. Why not just 'go slowly'?

The way to avoid the steps at #101523 is to take the A9 road bridge across the railway, and the HArTT cycle route appears to do just that. However, there is no evidence that the narrow footway is legal for shared use, and the provision ... [more]
As with #101515 the railway blocks progress along the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, and a flight of steps provides the connection to the adjacent A9 road bridge.
The immediate way around the blockage in #101515 is to use this flight of steps up to the A9 bridge to cross the railway. The alternative is to use the road approach to the bridge to avoid the steps.
