Re: A Dutch Challenge
We have some towpaths like that here in the UK too. There's one where I always get off the bike and push it along.

Re: A Dutch Challenge
Spoiler
The 'bike lane' in the photo is a joke. The broken yellow line indicates that parking is not allowed, but stopping to load or unload is. Somebody painted the bicycle sign as a prank...
Best wishes,

Re: A Dutch Challenge
It's a great prank! I looked for a photo of a very narrow canal-side bike path that I took a few months ago near London, but I can't find it. Next time I ride that way I'll try to remember to post it here.

Re: A Dutch Challenge
Very well done Leif!
The fact that your face is hidden behind your arm...and partially chopped off must be hiding expressions of grim and fear.

Re: A Dutch Challenge
Maybe we could go out cycling together one day Leif. You can have the canal side of the towpath, and I'll stick to the safe side.

Re: A Dutch Challenge
I know 2 physicians who enjoy extreme cycling. I'll have to give them your pics, although knowing them I think the canal side path would be ho-hum for them. They cycle over a local river on a fallen tree trunk.

Re: A Dutch Challenge
There's a very narrow section of cycle path alongside one of our local canals. If you meet someone coming the other way then someone risks taking an impromptu swim.
