Keep left, except where there’s a pedestrian on the right going the same direction as you, in which case move behind them, and then come out and round when it is safe to do so.

I dislike towpaths and cycle paths. They are full of people who appear to be deaf, or have dogs running off the lead unattended.
I am constantly having to stop, because of the lack of consideration walkers show for cyclists.
Roads are more dangerous, but at least you can continue cycling.And I don’t race.

Another tip: be extra careful if you look over your shoulder to check that your cycling buddy has negotiated the last bridge okay – canals are jolly wet!
