On the Middlewich branch, apart from 'improvements' at the Middlewich end the towpath is original grass which seems to deter the more speedy cyclist. However, on the ever improving solid stone and dust paths that BW so love - around Stoke for example or along the Stourbridge canal and the Staffs and Worcester north and south of Stourton the super duper biketrack towpath invites the lycra louts to show their paces and they come out in droves.
