Not going to lie, you are one of few bikers that obey road signs, I applaud you on that! 👏 I believe you are correct about the lack of sidewalks, but I also think because homeowners do not want the hassle of clearing the sidewalks during winter and the that the sidewalks cuts onto their property.
The second house on High Point is listed for almost $18 million, I can pick up an extra shift and go half with you on the house...lol!
Great video again! 👍
I think you'll end up owning 98% of the property (the 2% I own will be funded by your superchats lol).
Thanks Marcus!
Johnny can then do a walkthrough tour of the house if 3 of us go in. 😁👍
Bro two time u missed the STOP signs
I checked out a video on RUclips for a couple of young guys are going into the old abandoned houses including the one on the bridal path 18 million to 32 million homes that have been abandoned and they're going in and filming it inside showing you what it's like
Thanks Johnny for your ride, I discover Toronto 50 years later, when I was living in Toronto I was too young to Wonder around Euclid ave. By my own.
that security guard is actually nice - we were there a few weeks ago for a night stroll I guess not a stroll when I have to drive half an hour but he entertained us by telling us about 21 savage's head on top of the gate keypad the gate opened and saw Kevin Durant it was amazing..it helped that I had my seven years old with me and my teenager daughter.
Yeah, my old neighborhood! Love Edward's Garden. Thanks for posting.
When my daughter told me about eight years ago that she was working on a documentary with Drake, she said he was really sweet and introduced himself to the crew, shook hands with everyone and hung around to chat for awhile.
I told her that if he fell in love with her, she had my permission to marry him.
(I don’t know why she doesn’t understand my sense of humour). 🤪
Another great video! Thanks again!
What is the doc called?
sheeblou __ As far as I know, it hasn’t been released. His mother was featured in it, so it would obviously include d stuff about his childhood.
@@verasileikis17 is it going to be ever released? Sounds interesting
sheeblou __ My daughter said she’d let me know when it’s going to be released, but I suspect it may have been shelved for now. The interesting thing about it is that her two days of work paid twice as much in U.S. dollars, than a two day shoot she did for CBC with Meghan Follows of Anne of Green Gables.
@@verasileikis17 that's pretty cool. Thanks
Wonderful Tour Jhonny.. Just love it :)
Founded in 1913, Crescent School is an independent day school for boys in Grades 3 to 12. Our mission is Men of Character from Boys of Promise.
I almost was about to go for a bike ride on post road for inspiration by those mansions. Then this video popped up
Great video in a nice area Johnny I can't wait when you do walking to see those houses thanks.
" Is drake home" followed by an awkward stare. Lmao
Just call him on his cell phone.
@@georgeemil3618 Haha classic 🔥
Beautiful homes and beautiful gardens.
Love this trip. Thank you!
Thanks, that was a nice tour. I'll look forward to the Fall walking version. Love seeing these beautiful mansions.
Love the neighborhood. Love your sense of humor. Great video. Thanks Johnny.
Thanks gail!
Wow! You just took me on a Stroll down memory lane. I remember how windy St. Ives Ave was. When you turned Right I was "Oh my God, Rochester Ave!". That was where I lived, at least they repaired and covered the Ditches. Remember Mildenhall being "narrow" when I was a Kid, yet driving on it, when the speed limit was 40, I slowed down to 25. Too close for comfort for Me. Thank you for the ride down Memory lane. I remember when the York U was the School for the Deaf way back in the day, correct me if I am wrong.
Leslie
🍎👍 Woah. Nice area. Loving the
riding tours with narration. Very interesting and informative. -H
This is probably one of the your safest bike rides in Toronto without getting cut off by drivers.
Indeed, and no luxury SUVs with broken turn signals tried to mow me down either (probably because the people here have hired drivers...).
terrific video, living in buffalo, i love coming to toronto and exploring, def going to check this area out once we can cross the border...Thank you again for this:)
Another great video,lovely park ride,many thanks.
One of the houses was also used in the shaggy music video “it wasn’t me”
My first bike tour! Fabulous homes and beautiful gardens! Thank you Johnny Strides!
You're welcome Jana!
now you did it, now I wan't to go out and cycle! great video as always. thanks for sharing
Finally a cycling video😆 Don't get me wrong, I like all your videos, but as a viewer it allows me to see more of the city when you're on a bike🚲😉
Great vlog Johny ..like 4D ..we are moving on bike...keep it up ..enjoying each n every moment with you .Thanks
Great video! What is the name of that park at the end?
Great video. As always nice ride. Take care.
I absolutely love exploring different neighborhoods. i used to think i'm the only one who does haha
Nope haha, i love doing it as well, in every city i visit
Nice looking Place. Greetings from Germany
Walking videos are much better as we can see more of the mansions.. Who agrees?
Great job. Thank you !
Very good
Im live in Brasil south
I love bike
Johnny you've called south of Edwards gardens Sunnyside park on a couple of occasions it's actually Sunnybrook park Sunnyside is down on the south side of the Lakeshore over near High park just thought I'd mention that love your videos keep up the good work
Yeah, just one of those things... I get Broadway and Broadview mixed up sometimes too.
Awesome👍👍 video
17:01 reminds me of the gates at Buckingham Palace in London.
Another great video! Thanks for doing it!
You rode by Gordon Lightfoot's house, 16 Park Lane Circle.
Conrad lived at 26 Park Lane Circle. Large lot. More than six acres.
And it's Sunnybrook Park, not Sunnyside, lol. ;)
Thanks Rick! And yeah, my brain gets scrambled sometimes on these lol
Isn't it odd that when you ring your bell, people on the right go to the left side and people on the left go to the right?
Indeed it's very odd!
thank-you for sharing this exquisite neighborhood ...
beautiful place! thanks brow
the slope north rendered me such anxiety. I felt my insides churn. but I appreciate the risk of a good video.
Last year I went to Edwards Gardens, I was so excited, make mistake, it was not easy as I had to take the subway and because of contraction I had to take 3 buses. After I've arrived I realized it was not James Garden.
This is a getaway Experience for me
The main entrance to Edwards Gardens is on the southwest corner of Lawrence Ave E and Leslie. If you had kept going east on Lawrence you would have seen an entrance to the big parking lot (where you ended up) on the right. The trail used to be unpaved but sometime in the last few years it was paved. That would be a really nice ride in the fall. Stay away on the weekends because it's very busy then.
Edwards Gardens is very beautiful, but when I was a kid, out of all the school trips, this was the most boring place to go.
There's another trail close by. If you continue east on Lawrence across Leslie, at the first traffic light is an old rail spur that was decommissioned a few years ago and turned into a recreational trail. From there, you could go north up to York Mills Rd, or go south to just before Eglinton Ave.
A bit further east still on Lawrence Ave E, just across the Don Valley Parkway, is the north entrance to the Charles Sauriol Conservation Area. The city is still building and extending the trail, but check it out if you get a chance.
Thanks Paul, I'll try to check it out!
This video would have been much better with the helmet cam.
I've grown sour on the helmet cam, without anything in the shot to stabilize the view it's a bit too "floaty", the sudden head movements (necessary for safety) can be jarring and my GoPro is a buggy POS (they all are...) even though it's better suited for this than my Osmo. I'll go back in the fall and do it as a walking video for a proper look around but I think this is the vantage point for cycling videos from now on. I may revisit that if I get bored lol
@@JohnnyStrides Agree 100%. It's the same with a head torchlight on a bike for night riding.
Update I found a article on it thank you. Thanks
I like to see some public cemetary tours....
Can you bike to the Tommy Thompson park ? Like to the edge
Hoping to do that soon.
Johnny, you should have told them Drake is your roomie.
hey Johnny can u show us inside of shopping mall ? i never see it in my live! I'm curious haha!
I have done the Eaton Centre many times :)
I love to watch your vedios.....from india🇮🇳❤️
i live a little ways north on bayview, and I tell you the whole area up to sheppard and past has houses like the bridlepath
love it! Thank you!
Have you considered calling AirQualityDunrite at 416-674-8184 and report the close pass on Post Road? That wasn't a 3ft clearance.
I sold one 100 ft front Bridal Path lot in 1989 for $1.5 million.
Nice ride, thanks Johnny 💖
Love the channel. What inspired you to start it? Did you always love to walk around and ride your bike?
It was really just a hobby but when a larger audience grew I started taking it more seriously and yes to your last question :)
@@JohnnyStrides that's great that you can film something you love doing and make a RUclips channel out of it.
It's been years since I have driven through there
it must be nice to have money, the hubby and I are having a hard time buying a house down here because the prices have shot up exponentially over the past year and a half. I couldn't imagine having so much money to actually be able to afford a house the size of these ones. Nice to look at though.
If I had enough money to buy one of these properties I think I'd choose to live modestly and just retire now instead :)
Same. I'd be happy with a two or three bedroom "wartime" house. But those are beyond expensive 😔
I want to make my way there
Nice drive bike good 👍👏💕
Great video. Subscribed. How do you edit your video. What product ?
Thanks! I use Resolve and PowerDirector.
What an amazing vlog Johnny 🥰 beautiful homes I really enjoyed the view 😍 you just know how to entertain your viewers 👏👏 but did the security answer when you asked if Drake is home? Thanks Johnny keep these wonderful narrative vlogs coming 🤗💞🤗
He said no lol and you're welcome :)
I heard lots of millionaires lives at Post Road. I will live there in my next life.
Buy gold and save for the next real estate crash.
Who is Drake? I am an immigrant.
He’s a rapper from Toronto, not really my type of music but the guy has some catchy songs lol
He's the greatest artist ever
You went by Gordon Lightfoot's house i think.
He did. Gord lives at 16 Park Lane Circle.
@@Skymasterone A much better singer than Drake!!
@@magneto8002 That's for sure!
No..all Justin Trudeau’s friends!
Muy buen video
My future in laws live in this neighbourhood... I feel depressed everything I drop their daughter back home. Their house takes a left turn at 30:47
it is so fun to watch at 36:00, suddenly change from residential to woods. how come
It used be lots of trailer park in that area every summer for filming production
This isn't the only mega rich area in Toronto. Plus Drake doesn't live there he just owns it!!!
Hi Johnny did you know that Drake played on Degrassi: The Next Generation. Drake portrayed Jimmy Brooks, a basketball star who became physically disabled after he was shot by a classmate.
Hi Rosa, yes I was aware of that, I used to watch it. I remember the guy who played Wheels used to come into my parents business and play arcades. Sadly I heard he has since passed away.
@@JohnnyStrides I'm sorry, I don't want to sound like a know it all. That is so cool that you got to see Wheels, sorry I just get excided.
@@JohnnyStrides You know Johnny, when I used to watch Degrassi. I'm not sure if it was his acting but I always found Wheels to be an angry and sad person. It's so sad he had to die so young may he R.I.P.
Would have liked the camera pointed at the homes
I'll come back and do a walking video through here. It's impossible to capture cycling I just wanted to go through the area. Cheers.
Let's make it a thing for all bicycle tours. Stop at Drake's house and ask the security guard if Drake is home.
Your thumbnail is my uncles house 😂
That is a beautifult neighborhood, How much cost a house around that area?
$15-20 million on average lol
Johnny your camera model?
This was filmed using the Osmo Action.
36:17 love it! Let's go on an adventure! :D
23:54 that house I’ve seen people break into it and make RUclips videos
nice video
Nice. Never really checked out this area.
This style of video might benefit from a wider lens.
Thanks Andrew. I'm not a fan of the fish-eye look and have stopped using my GoPro altogether (correcting the fish-eye crops the image ending up with one similar to this). This one might have been better with the helmet cam though although the sudden head movements are a bit jarring for me to watch. Cheers
@@JohnnyStrides it would add editing time but you could do both and cut between them.
15:51 Commander Putnam's mansion in The Handmaid’s Tale
Sunnybrook (not Sunnyside) Health Science Centre and Sunnybrook (not Sunnyside) Park
Indeed it is and I knew that, it's just hard to do this while riding a bike... oh well.
THANK YOU🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚵♂️🚵♂️🚵♂️👍👍👍
Consider turning the cam towards the left or right side, all that's viewed is mostly asphalt and boulevard
The camera is chest mounted so it's not really possible. I did say I'll go back and do a walking tour of the area (these videos are more about the experience as a cyclist...).
@@JohnnyStrides Fair enough mate!
@@JohnnyStrides Have you tried 2 cameras chest mounted? Might work for many cycling and walking videos. You do a fantastic job, but my family and I watch your videos on a smart TV and we often comment that we'd like to see the side views because otherwise we see mostly the road or the sidewalk and not as much of the neighbourhood itself.
👍🌸
Love this trip.... the camera angle could be better. ...looking forward to a re-film with improvements ❤️
Thanks. When I go back I'll do it as a walking video so I can get a better look around. My cycling videos aren't so much about their surroundings as they are the experience of cycling through the city so this one was a bit awkward from that point of view but I thought I'd try anyway. Cheers
Didn't have a clue who Drake is. Had to look it up! From the description of his house, it sounds nouveau riche gauche!
belle premenadeee
Where does Justin Trudeau live in this area?
He doesn't lol
You're running all the stop signs so I'd be careful the police don't catch you it's very expensive
Idaho stops are generally accepted in residential areas. No cop is giving a ticket to a cyclist for doing so (it's actually safer than completely stopping which is why it's legalized in some areas).
🖒❤
26:00
Toronto is an amazing place. What I don't like, however, is that for some reason people are constantly swallowing their saliva
Is that really a thing? Spitting in public is absolutely disgusting (if you were being literal). That was one of the big turn offs from living in Seoul (most things were amazing) but the number of older men just unloading their lung boogers onto the sidewalk was borderline depressing.
@@JohnnyStrides Yeah, I was speaking quite literally actually. I don't know why I always see people swallowing their saliva
You need a mountain bike
A mountain bike would have been good for about 2% of this ride? If I get a second bike it will be a road bike (or a hybrid for winter). Mountain would be 4th on the list ;)
