If your mate could swim, would you be swimming the canals to get around?

The first link has 4 hour rates for 100 euro and the second link has the pedel boat info, you'll not get much cheaper than that.

As soon as I upload the updates page, you will be posted on the September Whos In Town page.

You can see who else may be in town during your stay.
Watch for Toke & Talks, I post them up to the last minute.
Or post one of your own. All I need is a date, time, and coffeeshop to post it.

By default I link your posting to your profile page here on ACD.

https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/profi ... le&u=33967

I can change it to a web link ( myspace, facebook, personal page )
or an email address if you want.

Enjoy

Gosh that pedal boat looks fun. Has anybody ever done these b4? I've seen them in the canals but they can't be very fast. Must take forever to get from the the outer rings into the centrum...

Yeah, they're great craic especially whilst stoned

crashing is always an option too and no they don't go too fast that just involves too much energy for my liking anyway

4 hrs for 100 e sounbds like quite a deal. didn't they used to have boat hires at that boom chicago place or somewhere around there?

There's pedlos up there too. 100 for 4 hours is a great deal if it's for the boat, saw them from ohms boat. Cool silver metal with an electric engine, gets a decent puttputt speed and can easily take 6 people.

Is there like a code of the canal for people renting these boats or do they come with some sort of driver type geezer who knows where they are going?

Jeeez its bad enough losing your bike... but a boat...

Hi Rufus,

About the canal bikes, r they so slow that walking would be faster? That would really irritate me on some level. I can imagine looking up at all those legs speeding by and getting nowhere -- like living in a garden apartment.

Also, where can you get a map of the canals with locks and stuff notated?
