Riding in canals is fun.
Riding alongside them is not so much fun.
Seriously, the Grand Union (I think that's it) is great for an easy, low-traffic ride with your missus or something but for regular commuting - fuck that! It's full of walkers, fishermen and other cyclists that have no concept of allowing other people room.
In summery, great for a short cruise between pubs in the summer, not a great commute option. I prefer to play with cars.
