I saw her pedalling along the towpath.
"Shouted Robert, laughing and running out onto the towpath, zipping his shorts as he went."
The Regent's Canal towpath is traffic-free (except for bikes), almost 10 miles long and an excellent way to experience London off the beaten tourist path.
The Loire is the perfect cycling river, with heavy traffic on one bank and none on the other, and long stretches of towpath on a raised embankment giving river views denied to motorists.
