University research
Hi all,
I'm a post-grad student at the University of Birmingham. I'm doing some research on canal towpath usage and the improvements made through the Cycle City Ambition Grants. If you use the towpath, as a cyclist, walker or any other way, please could you complete my short survey.

Many thanks.
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

This is a very poor survey - all the questions about speed and sharing the path are about cyclists being a danger (or otherwise) to other people , and none are about other people being a danger to cyclists - e.g. the dog walkers who refuse to control their animals on shared use towpaths.
