No!
The canal is a navigation by Act of Parliament.
Cyclists and Fisherpeople are the "Johnny Come-Latelys" and personally contribute almost "Bugger All" to the coffers, which seems to be our happy responsibility.
However we live in enlightened times and must magnanimously embrace change in order to include the antisocial elements of their hobbies. It seems to me there is a simple and obvious solution.
Both parties Have a need to be only seen at the last possible moment.
Fisher'ers hide behind bushes and amongst reeds and bullrushes.
Bicycler'ists have a need for speed ... "You don't see me, but here I am"
Only by allowing for their strange desires can we expect them to accept ours, like ...
* Wafting the smell of our cooking dinner wherever we go.
* Chugging along at 4mph, waving and smiling indiscriminately.
* Having 3rd party insurance to compensate others.
* Insisting that we pay for being there.
* Forcing double that amount into others coffers so we can moor.
So in order that we stop our selfless activities with total disregard for other inland waterway users I return to my earlier comment .....
"It seems to me there is a simple and obvious solution."
They both need to be seen, not only so we boaters don't hack them off, but so that they don't fall foul of each other either.
The Solution - All cyclists and Maggot Drowners must tie a large Helium filled balloon to their hats. It needs to be very large in order to remain vertical in wind. Because we need every opportunity to spot them quickly the balloon should be in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head and fluorescent in colour (I like orange)
To allow for Bike'lerists bursting it on the underneath of a bridge or an angler'ist puncturing his balloon during his 3 mile hike to his peg, it should be insisted they carry spare balloons and a tank of Helium.
Just like we carry numerous fire extinguishers when we go out.
All sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
