There have been several fist fights and cases of involuntary swimming
on the Regent's Canal in London when high-speed bicycle commuters have
met other towpath users. Also, a few years back, a British Waterways
director is reported to have been thrown in by a bicyclist he
remonstrated with.
Nice peaceful places, canals.
