I don't like riding the canal but when I was going to Alperton often it made sense. Only bit I found super dodgy was the narrow bit east of where it crosses the north circular, it was fine most of the time but you sometimes got another cyclist zoom towards you and even as a confident rider I'd stop and stand still close to the side as I could as they did that dumbness.
If it's dark when you ride be considerate and pick the right brightness of lights so not the sun mounted facing at the eyes of oncoming riders and not some bright flashing crap.
