On a scale of annoyance, I don't think discourteous cyclists are any 
more obnoxious than walkers who spread out over the whole towpath, 
fisherfolk who block the path with poles and assorted hardware, boaters 
who stretch mooring ropes across the path and run generators, dogs for 
existing, kids for throwing stones and just about any other branch of 
animal or human kind for being there before me.
