Good news for those who have the ambition of cvcling every canal towpath in Britain...

From 14 May 2007 British Waterways London will give blanket permission to cycle on its towpaths (unless signs specifically prohibit it) and there will not be a requirement for cyclists to hold a permit. The abolition of the permit system in London is a pilot for abolishing the permit nationally. The reason why the permit is being abolished is because British Waterways does not have the resources to enforce the permit system and the increased numbers of cyclists on the towpaths in London has made it even harder to enforce.
