  • A narrated 4K Toronto cycling video. This bike ride starts off at the Chester Hill lookout and heads east through Greektown along Danforth Avenue to Jones Avenue. From there I head south down to Lake Shore Blvd East and ride in the eastbound lanes which were closed to motorized vehicles as part of the ActiveTO program. I then ride along Queen Street through the Beaches neighbourhood and head down to the waterfront trail and ride alongside Balmy Beach, Scarboro Beach, Kew Beach and Woodbine Beach. I then ride past Tommy Thompson Park and Cherry Beach before making my way up to Parliament Square Park. I recorded this ride on Saturday, June 13 just before 4:00 pm.The temperature was a rather nice 20 degrees Celsius. The Coronavirus / Covid-19 pandemic continues but people are still out and enjoying the city.

      Thanks Ted! I'm going to work on not having the camera sway and "jump around" as much. It seems to be a bi-product of when I talk as the older vids don't do it so much.

      I'm sure it was sorely missed by many. The track at woodbine sits inside the thoroughbread track, it's just too far to get a good view of IMO.

    I'm glad you made this a narrated ride. Your commentary is excellent, and I would say you and CJ Hoyle are definitely on par. I really enjoy both of your rides. Thanks for making these! I'm definitely going to be watching every single one of them by the end of March, when I can take my good bike out again :)

      Thanks! I'd still like the vocals to be a bit more crisp but the external mic falls apart in heavy winds... I'll be tweaking this setup until I get it perfect. I also need to work on less swaying side to side, I find I tend to do that when I talk versus the rides where I don't talk (after going back and watching them). Thanks for the support!

    1:53mins. I've been down that street. But never to the end of it. When I get back into riding my bike. Going to check it out. I just live over on Thorncliffe. You rode down ET Seton Park one day. And @8:54mins. That cannabis place was once Rogers video. It was part of the other Rogers on your right. One big place back in the day.My friend work there for a few years. The cannabis place is not that old. Was a all day breakfast place for a few years.9:25mins. Just before Joans Ave on the right. The place that's is boarded up. Was a Blockbuster back in the day. And we did talk about the Danforth really not changing that much. Your walk video.

    • @JohnnyStrides
      @JohnnyStrides  4 роки тому +1

      For 4K60 the Osmo Action gets me about an hour and ten minutes, the Osmo Pocket gets me about an hour and 20 minutes and the GoPro Hero 7 Black gets me around 50 minutes. With the Pocket I can plug into an external battery pack if it's a really long walk, with the others I just carry spare batteries and change if needed.

    Just for your info only. Greenwood racetrack was originally Woodbine Racetrack. Second when you were going westbound back into the Central city, you said the complex on the left was the water treatment plant. It is in fact the sewage or waste water facility. They are digging a very deep hole and have put in tunnel boring machines. They are headed north west to join the one being dug at Bayview Ave just north of the viaduct. Part of the flooding and storm water protection system

    I disagree with you on condo development. Condos are an eye sore in the sky line. I have been in Toronto since the 80s and let me tell you that Toronto's Lakeshore was stunning back then.

    • @JohnnyStrides
      @JohnnyStrides  4 роки тому

      Oh, I'm not a fan of a lot of the newer condos. The generic & sterile street front retail they bring is often a downgrade and bland, glass box in the sky designs have been done to death in this city. I think the city should absolutely be pushing for designs that integrate well with the city. But to fight development in dense corridors that have transit connections is backwards thinking and is the type of thing that lends to more urban sprawl.
