When you were on the docks the merchant was probably a ships chandler, not chandelier. A chandler is like an outfitter but on a gigantic scale for ocean-going vessels.
Thank you very much for your video! I'm almost 75 years old, live in Barrie, Ont. Unfortunately, I have Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. Garage burnt down 2 years ago. Lost bike. Have not replaced. My son lives on Queens Quay. The drive to Toronto is a drag. I would like to take the Go train down to Toronto, visit the kids, ride around a bit on the lovely paths on Lake Ontario, and go home. MY QUESTION: Last time I looked Go train will accept folding bikes on all trains. Normal bikes not on rush hour trains. What is the " loading your bike on the train experience " like? Are there lots of people wanting to load their bikes on the train? Is there a chance CN will say "we're full - need to wait for the next train" or is it very easy? I have been toying with buying a Brompton. I see Brompton has just released a 20" folding bike. Little pricey but life is short and the 20" wheel better for the spine. A full sized bike with fat tires would be even better save the rush hour non-folding bike train restrictions. Anyway, enjoyed the video. I assume that broken bridge was on Cherry Street? I've never heard of the Lake to Lake Trailway. I wish I was a little younger. Whatever - we are lucky to live in Southern Ontario! Thanks again for the video!!!
@@chrissorlie5291 hey! The train on weekend has no restrictions on bikes. I found ample space to get my bike onto the train. Each car can take 2 bikes I believe. There may still be some limits during weekday rush hour. But I would call their customer service to ask as it might have changed and be easier now. Make sure when you get to union you find the elevator to the train platform when you arrive to avoid lighting your bike up stairs. There are customer service reps roaming the main floor to help you. You could take an early train from Barrie to Newmarket. Exit and pick up the Tom Taylor trail from there to head south. It’s a fun ride!
Great video good information I hate just scenery 😢

@@jamesandrewsinclair7488 wow thanks! Had no idea. That’s interesting and makes sense down there.
