If you get on Regents Canal at Kingsland Rd not so many. That was my old commute... I don't miss Canary Wharf.
personally i wouldn't ride down the canal. i'd only ever do that if i were riding somewhere with my girlfriend and wanted to take her on a slow route taking in some sights. people who blast down the canal whilst others are walking or riding slowly are fking twats.
plus i don't want to prolong my commute by going slowly down a canal, if i'm not rushing i'll do that, otherwise it's on the roads and pretty dam as fast as i can go.
