I cycle on the canal quite often. When approaching pedestrians and dog walkers I sould the bell if they have their back to me so that they know I am coming through. If in front of me I check for eye contact. If I get that then I proceed. It's common sense not to go too fast on the canal as pedestrians and dogs can be unpredictable.
Unfortunately so many people wear headphones or are immersed in their phone and don't hear you. Any good cyclist wil notice this and slow down. |
