@Doctor_Cake and I have been following a policy of waiting and politely saying excuse me when riding the towpath. DC was riding it every working day to work.
This mostly bewilders towpath walkers. I expect it's the fact that we are actually not complete wankers.

This is partly why the Canal & River Trust (used to be British Waterways) no longer promotes a message of ringing your bell. The best thing is not to use a bell at all but to wait politely while not putting them under pressure.
