Love the fact that Toronto (GTA) has bike paths even right next to busy highways 🙏🏼
Wow Johnny Strides breaks traffic laws. Stop signs don't work for this loser. Teens, don't be a freak. Laura Bush blew stop signs and killed her best friend. OK?
Great ride Johnny ! Used to ride this route quite a bit in the early 2000s. Good to see a lot more dedicated bike lanes compared to when i rode this route
The infrastructure is slowly but surely getting better!
Did you break the law too? Stop signs don't appeal to Johnny Strides, eh?
@@martinkent333 Here is the perfect citizen who breaks no laws! ^^ I am a cyclist who has never once stopped at a stop sign when it was safe to proceed through, I proceed through. If I ever get a ticket, I will frame it.
@@stefansavage9391 7 billion people ate dazzled by your sliminess. Kids, do you want to grow up into a weasel like Stefan?
This means a lot to me - what a beautiful scene to finish. I am stuck in Australia, wanting to return to family in Mississauga & Toronto. in May 2019 at Jack Darling Park I saw 2 swans nesting with 5 eggs across the channel from there. Very special. Thanks for bringing me home for a while Johnny.
Don't you ever apologize for a detour. You make awesome content.
I ride a round trip of this route, from Port Credit to Toronto and back like you did. It sure is tiring but it’s such a beautiful and fun route. It’s awesome to be able to watch the entire thing like this, great job.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the bike path. Not the easiest path to follow. Having more signs will help!!
I love it when Johnny breaks traffic laws. Kids, Johnny is a turd. Most cycling adults are smelly turds, devoid of laws, ethics and a conscience. Their pride and street cred shine brightly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kids, don't be a turd. be safe and obey all traffic laws. Or else you get hit. OK? Traffic laws save your ass. Not now, but in the future. OK?
This is my regular ride from sauga port credit to toronto queens quay. I learned so much just watchin this vid and loved it!!! That handle bar view is Nice!!!
I literally watched the video from beginning to end and then 2 more of your videos and I must say as I am a beginner cyclist, it was so difficult to learn about the rules but seeing this virtually made me learn much much more and made me love the city even more
I did this exact route last week from downtown except I just stayed on Lakeshore in Mississauga.
I went as far as Ford Dr in Oakville.
Did you break traffic laws like Mr Strides?
@@martinkent333 Do you have a personal vendetta against cyclists who don't stop at precious red lights for carists?
Did this route today and holy was it fun. If I haven't checked google maps here and there, I surely would've passed port credit and kept heading west haha
Thank you so much for doing this video! I live in Mississauga and I've done this exact route probably like 7-8 times in the summer of 2020, and I'll probably do it even more times in 2021 since I was lucky enough to be able to get the bike I really wanted (had to drive to Ottawa to get it, but it was worth it!). Also, I agree with your comment about recumbent bikes; every time I see one, I think it's CJ Hoyle lol. Looking forward to more of your cycling videos in the spring!
Awesome!
My favorite so far ..Thanks Johnny Strides .. You videoed the Moose Lodge in a previous video , my uncle use to run that place. I've also made the same directional mistakes biking from Toronto to Port Credit .You also passed the house I grew up in on 36th , very cool.
Awesome and thanks for watching bucky!
I didn't even know there was a direct bike path all the way to Mississauga from downtown Toronto. That's amazing.
Well it's "kind of" direct if you don't mind all the residential detours :)
🙏🇨🇦thank you bro for visiting Port Credit as you promised:) really glad that I could watch this:) greetings from Poland!
Hey Johnny, Great walk and bike ride videos. I really enjoy watching them from Louisville KY. .
Great ride👍 , love it 💖 Thank you for the beautiful scenarios you give us . 💖
Wow! What a great video....I loved it...59 years old and forgot how much I loved biking.....hummm.....might blow the dust off my bike....
It's worth a go!
Lovely Video Johnny! I lived in downtown Toronto closer to the Martin Goodman Trail and moved to the every lovely Port Credit neighborhood couple of years back. Enjoyed watching your ride and your narrative. Kudos!!!
You've lived in some great spots then! And thanks :)
That was the very best ride yet. What a beautiful area along the lake shore. Thanks for the great trip. I watched it by means of Airplay to my TV. Don't like sitting all that time on the laptop. Mahalo!!
Hi Johnny, we just saw this last night and we noticed that you had recorded our old apartment in the video, my hubby and I were so excited to see it, in Toronto, when we lived there from 1987 to June 1990. It was the apartment, at the very end of the bike route, on the right hand side before getting onto the Lakeshore west....You could see our living room window and where we parked our car....We are in Mississauga north of Square One now near Highway 10.
November 1987
When we lived in Mimico, we rode our bikes all of the time to Ontario Place....Now my son lives at the Del Ray condos and my daughter lives near the Lakeshore...
At 37:10 was our apt building ground floor....
Where the two cars are parked in front of the brown building...
Neat!
That was a very impressive ride!
The beginning of it reminded me of seeing the Conchord at the airshow in the early ‘80’s. It was quite a sight.
lovely tour i actually think i could do most of this now!!! thank you
I go to Port Credit by foot often and see many cyclists, always wondered what it's like to ride one in the area :)
_Looks fun!_
Awesome Riding right through, My area which is Long Branch. I'm on Thirty Ninth St, by Lakefront Prominade. Close to Marie Curtis Park.
48:32 - you had to turn left!!!! I usually use this lane, riding from Thornhill to Oakville...it takes me about 5-6 hours, with frequent stops to take nice pictures. Good ride, thanks to Johnny!
Thanks for the beautiful scenery you took us through to Mississauga. Its interesting to see this while riding on a bike👍
And the blown stop signs. Social negligence shines on this video...... Brightly!!!!!!!!
Thank you for posting. I love Toronto and can't wait to eventually live there.
Nice in-door training video,especially on a snowy xmas day
hey dude, I just came across your channel, very cool. Love this bike ride one, as you literally pasted by my home haha! we'll say somewhere around 41:15 and also where I use to live a few years back in Port Credit 127:30 . Ive done this exact ride many times throughout the years... love it.
Thanks and that's neat!
man I am so living vicariously through you right now! would love to bring my bike and ride in Toronto next summer
In Toronto, cyclists blowing stop signs and wearing dark colours, really turns chicks on.
Good work out for you on the bike ride l love seeing parts of Toronto that I have never been or seen .
Keep them coming and as always stay safe.
Thanks George and will do!
Johnny Strides Thanks Johnny your a Scholar and a Gentleman and not necessarily in that order..
🚵♂️👍.
I really like your videos and your description for the areas you pass through !!
You made me want to go out and explore my own town that I’ve been taking for granted. (port credit) nice video :)
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Thanks again for this amazing vlog Johnny 🥰 wonderful view keep these wonderful vlogs coming 🤗
" Old marina" you mentioned at Humber Bay (31:42) is actually wetlands that include Beaver dams. Wooden raised walkways for viewing fish, herons etc. Liked this narrated ride, parts of which I ride regularly from High Park to New Toronto to visit friends at Big Guy's Little Cafe, Lakeshore Road near 5th Street. Great coffee and pastries!
Thanks for the info Judith!
Buddy, thius was my regular route, but in the opposite direction! I haven't enjoyed my cycling since I left the West End. Either way, thank you for this video and pushing me to go ride today. It's been a struggle wanting to go for a ride, but needing to load it in my car each time. I no longer live in a good cycling neighborhood. At 46:40: 13th street and Lakeshore Blvd, the white building to your left is where I grew up and spent 35 years of my life living! My rent for a 2-bedroom apartment facing the lake in 2017 was $1400/mo all inclusive! The moment I moved out when my mom passed, it jumped to $1800 plus utilities and parking, and now I'm sure even more! I used to bike downtown from there several times a week, and I had a friend pushing me to my limits - couldn't have done it without him. Lost 50Lbs one summer.
It's an awesome route, I'm going to have to do an updated video of this ride!
I love our city and your video's,
Thanks for doing what you do dude...
You're welcome ! 👍
Wonderful video , very inspirational.....thank you
Thank you! Love these bike rides 🙌🙏
You're welcome!
Great job bro. Must have been a big mission. Bro. Impressive 👍👍
Very nice cycle. Thank for sharing 💕👍💖
it was cool and nostalgic as you mention all the spots that used to be there. thx for featuring port credit, pls visit more often. btw not having the CNE this year sucks but understandable.
I recorded a bike ride along Lake Shore through Port Credit right after this! :) And thanks!
GREAT STUFF !!! 👍
A skilled and respectful cyclist .
Thanks Jean!
Subscribed to your channel , Johnny . Keep safe my friend .
Thank You.
Always will be my favorite stretch of earth.. on earth.
Nice very green bike paths.
Sunset Grill is still there. Starbucks use to be an A&W. Nice ride.
Another bike vid with handlebars in shot. Going on the gym bike soon to ‘ride with you’ watching this 😎
Don't go on the gym bike, go on the _bike_ bike.
Etobicoke.... my actual hometown. I was born there. Thanks for posting, its great to see my old city. 🙂
Thanks for the tour Johnny
After finished watching this video, I have come to conclusion on two things: 1) I need to tune my bike and 2) I might want to buy a boat..lol! I have never been that west on the trail, I have been to the Credit River back in the days to fly fish. Really enjoyed this video! 👍👍👍
Thanks Marcus! The joys of a single speed are that I rarely have to tune it (and if I do it takes 2 seconds). Just keep the chain clean and lubed and adjust the brakes and I'm good to go!
@@JohnnyStrides your bike doesnt have gears? So is your back gear the smallest one that you'd typically find on a multigear bike?
This video bring back my memories. I lived in Etobicoke.
Marie Curtis is a beautiful park
Love Port Credit!
Enjoyed the ride. Would like to try this once for sure. Haven't been on a bike since ages though.
Now when you stop at a stop sign, aggressive dumbfuck tailgaters, crash into you.
Best friend is beautiful video🎥🎥🎥
You made some good time! I just wanted to give you a thumbs up for coming down to my hood!
Hey, this was a very nice ride and a cool bicycle path. I`m exciting to watch the ride of the toronto islands. Your comments in terms of areas and buildings are exciting. Especially in this vid the two tower on the way to mississauga ore the other direction to tornoto at the gardiner expressway. when i was visting toronto i always pass this buildings and when i passed them i know i´m on my way to one of the most beautiful cities in the world. by the way, do you know somebody who make similar vids like you for vancouver?Im sorry for my english but i`m from germany:-)
Thanks kung fu and no worries I understood everything just fine :) I'm not sure of another channel that has these types of vids (including cycling) based in Vancouver hmm
This is really cool. You should put a map up to show your progress. Nice job.
Mit den Bike nach Mississauga tolle Leistung weiter so...
1:26:03 Dry Aged has been there for a long time, Sunset Grill is on the other side of the parking lot, you can see it from the bridge.
great ride 👍👍👍
going to bike this route hopefully, always wanted to do it but I dont have a road/hybrid bike so I'll just do it on my mountain bike
good video. Mississauga rd starts at JC Saddington Park. Cycling north on Mississauga rd, connects to U of T Mississauga Campus/Erindale park and you can see all the mansions along the way
Marvelous, best of the all ever seen
Johnny broke traffic laws just for you, James. Stop signs have no power over this turd.
chris bosh had a penthouse suite in the palace pier also. delivered ubereats to that same unit a couple years back XD (different tenant)
I enjoyed that! I live near Long Branch-thx for showing the route!👍😊
What day of the week in August was this and what time please?✌️
Thanks Steve! I put this information at the start of every video as well as the description. Cheers
It would have been nice to have had these bike trails 30 years ago.
Excellent 👍🌸
Random question coming through:
On a traffic light turning green, who has right-of-way? The biker in bike lane going straight, or the vehicle in vehicle lane turning right?

Kindly make some new videos for Brampton too. Roads + trails + some rules. There are no videos for guidance for us people here and we want to explore more. Thankyou so much.
Perhaps in the summer, Brampton is a bit far for me to get to without a car. Cheers
Wow great video, so funny, I just did a ride from Greektown to Sam SmithPark. My next ride will be to got this far.
That's a great ride in itself!
You're not the only cyclist who obeys the signals. I stop at every light and stop sign.
Good stuff! I am guilty of slowly rolling through stop signs on residential streets (aka the Idaho stop, treating them as yield signs) but other than that I pretty much obey the signals and signs 100% (as we all should!).
@@JohnnyStrides All drivers do that too.
I obey those signals, Johnny.
How about stop signs? Johnny Strides didn't.
nice video
Please can you show us the ride from port credit to Burlington on the west bound waterfront trail. Thanks
Perhaps I'll get to it later but I have no plans to ride out that way again this year.. hmm
Wow excellent place you cycleing🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I can watchbthis whenever i miss my old commute :p except i do lakeshore in port credit to about park royal (or royal york?!) saves me about 4-5km
Do you blow stop signs, like Johnny Stride?
@@martinkent333 on my commute there aren't any stop signs. There's the 2 just before Bathurst that I slow down for but in 3 years of commuting there's been a car there maaaaaybe 4 times. So I've fully come to a stop 4 times at those intersections. Otherwise traffic lights are non negotiable, unless there's no pedestrian crossing/sensor
Really great video!! thank you for sharing. What kind of camera are you using?
It's a DJI Osmo Action, cheers!
@@JohnnyStrides Thank you for the reply... blessing - enjoy your wonderful rides!!
I posted this video on FB. Growing up in Port Credit and Friends of Port Credit.
bro well done
I lived in Mississauga for 35 years
Went to port credit fri from northern on..love it there :)
Wow that's awesome. It's a great area!
Going to miss the blues festival this year.
Excellent ride! Did you take the Go train back?
I did, I rode back to Long Branch (and recorded it). Cheers
enjoyed 😀
Johnny what do you use to mount your camera's when riding???? For helmet or Bike???
I use a chest mount.
@@JohnnyStrides does come with the camera you use or you have a link to one??
Great naration 👍 .can you share route map you followed
So a quiet street means you don't want to have a car like new high powered Mustang or Charger idling in the driveway in the mornings.
You could actually bike all the way to Burlington from Toronto
I made it to Oakville on Speers Rd, another 15-20 mins and I would've made it.
Am I correct that a Mississauga is a type of rattlesnake?
Johnny Strides is now Johnny Rides
This is a Marathon ride !
At7:48 one of the cyclist kill the redlight..kinda daring..wow long 24 km cyle ride to missisauga.Johnny ,you ever ride cycle to oakville.
I've ridden to Oakville (from Mississauga) but not from downtown... yet!
great

JOHNNY 👍👍👍🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
We got a chance to capture the locations at Port Credit in the video by drone in 4K.

Training Barracks is right
Thanks for confirming!
