also I should have mentioned. You really can go canoeing on the canal. I took that picture a few years ago thanks to these people:

Question: do hipster prefer to kayak *or* canoe? Kayaking has really been picked up by the masses so perhaps that's a no-no. However, a canoe is a larger craft compared to a kayak's minimalism so perhaps that too is a no-no. A canoe would look ironically cool though if you were to strap it to the top of your car (or track-bike) whereas a kayak would just make you look like a programmer who left work early to take advantage of the nice weather... oh, now I really don't know WHAT to think...
