For canal towpaths, bicycle=designated is misleading, as it tends to 
imply a public right of way, whereas these are normally 
access=permissive, and privately owned by the Canal and River Trust.

They started their life being purely for private profit, got 
nationalised, then handed to a charity, but never got made public rights 
of way.
