Biking in Iqaluit, Nunavut - Narrated Ride
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- This video shows my Friday June 2nd, 2023 cycling tour through Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada. The video begins at the Iqaluit Airport (YFB) towards the northwest end of town. From there I followed Ungalliqpaat and joined Federal Rd heading Southeast. After a quick detour past the Nunavut Legislative Assembly, I briefly rode along Mivvik St before joining Queen Elizabeth to continue through the centre of town. After passing Northmart, I turned onto Sinaa to ride along next to the frozen water of Frobisher Bay before turning north onto Qajaq, and returning Northwest along Nipisa St and Palaugaa. After making a left turn onto Niaqunngusiariaq I ended the video just east of Federal Rd.
Some of the points of interest that I passed along the ride include: a view of the newer houses built on the Plateau, the baseball field, the Aqsarniit Hotel (the new hotel), the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation, the Black Heart Café, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) building, the Qimugjuk Building, the Nunavut Legislative Assembly, RBC Financial Group, the Iqaluit Canada Post office, a dental clinic, CIBC bank, Tim Hortons, Northmart, Nakasuk School (elementary school), the Unikkaarvik Visitor Centre, the Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum, the Iqaluit Harbour pier, the KFC / Pizza Hut / Quick Stop, the Snack restaurant, the Frobisher Inn, St. Jude's Anglican Cathedral and the Iqaluit Aquatic Centre.
In this video I was riding a CCM Inception bicycle which I borrowed. I filmed this using my GoPro HERO 9 Black action camera mounted to a chest strap. I recorded the audio with a modified dreamGEAR gaming headset, plugged into an old smartphone. Unfortunately I had forgotten to bring the equipment that I normally use for recording audio with me on this trip, so I had to make do with what I could find in the stores in town.

Outstanding video!! What a gift to be able to see parts of Nunavut. This is a city that most of us will never get to and to be able to see this area while you cycled through is fabulous!! I was captivated watching from beginning to end! Thank you so much CJ!! Cheers!! 🙂
Thanks, I'm really glad to hear! It truly was a trip of a lifetime, and I'm so glad I was able to share a piece of it.
@@cjhoyle I'm thrilled that you were able to experience such an exciting trip CJ!!
Wow, what a great opportunity through work to get up north. Thanks so much for giving a tour, I am impressed with how modern it looks. I am sure there is some incredible engineering at work for those conditions! I am in awe how those up north survive and thrive. I wish we all knew more about day to day lives of those up there.
It truly was a trip of a lifetime! I found it really interesting learning about how everything works up there from an engineering perspective.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video - you did a great job of keeping the image stable and pointing out all the places of interest. I lived in Iqaluit for 5 years, and had the privilege of going to many other Nunavut communities for work. This brought back many fond memories - thank you for making and sharing the video.
Cheers!
Your adventures and videos overcome my trauma on driving , inspiring me to drive to visit all the places you visited. Thank you😊
I'm glad to hear the videos are having a positive impact. You won't be able to drive to visit Iqaluit though! :P
Thanks for the video. My son is there for work and I saw a few pieces of machinery that he is been working with :-) Great video and narrative!
Great video! Thank you for sharing this with us. Interesting story about attempting to get a bike and I'm glad that you sourced one in the end. I look forward to the dog sledding video!
Thanks!
Amazing! What a great opportunity - I really appreciated that you could share this tour with us. So interesting to see how different the city is than other places I have visited, loved hearing your explanations of how things work there. Well done on attracting and entertaining 50,000 subscribers!
Thanks! Knowing it was a rare opportunity, I was pretty determined to make this video.
Thank you for your video. And thank you to your friend for letting you borrow his bike.
Nice to see parts of the World 🌎 on video that I'll most likely not make it too.
Glad your ok. 🚵♂️
Again, thank you from Phoenix Az.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video with magnificent footage and everyting very well explained. Congratulations on your work and thank you very much for publishing it. I wish you good luck fot your future.
Thanks for the video. Very interesting! Congratulations on 50K
Thanks, and thank you for your viewership over the years!
I've always wondered how Nunavut looks like in Summer. And it's beautiful 😍
Wow! This is so cool Christopher! That is so neat that you had the opportunity to visit Nunavut on a work trip and then spend a couple extra days there to explore more! I was surprised to see as many paved roads as there were. I didn't think that they were able to have paved roads in that part of Canada. Looking forward to watching your other videos from Nunavut! Also, congratulations on getting over 50,000 subscribers on RUclips! I just noticed that you had passed the 50,000 mark.
Thanks! I definitely feel lucky to have had the rare opportunity to visit Iqaluit. I was surprised to see the paved roads too! Thanks. In my previous video, you mentioned that a Facebook group comment I made tipped off my location. Was it my inquiry about renting ski equipment? lol As you know, I try to keep my trips/videos a secret until the videos are ready to be posted, but I wasn't expecting you to be quite so observant 😉
Thank you for sharing! It's nice to see the Northern parts of Canada.
Congratulations on surpassing 50k Subscribers CJHoyle! A perfect trip video to Nunavut, Canada being released at the same time you achieved this amazing milestone. Your Channel has come a long way since you started more than 10 years ago. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! It was cool that the timing worked out that way. I actually officially hit the 50k milestone the day I arrived in Iqaluit.
Why did you put zyx for kids
Very cool!
Thanks!
By the look of the video thumbnail I thought you had re-found the Green Machine again! :D
There is no way i am coming here! LOL 😃
EVEN D JOB AT 100K
Pretty cool
Thanks!
🙏🇨🇦❤️
Very interesting to see this part of our country. I notice how low to the horizon the satellite dishes are pointed.
Do they have a large generator somewhere close to town for electricity.
Thanks for sharing
Glad you found it interesting. Yes, Iqaluit has a central power plant which runs diesel generators. The other 24 Nunavut communities do too. Electricity is very expensive there.
neato
i heard that Life cost alot of Money there , is it right?
Hi CJ. Hope you are well. Have you ever considered a ferring for your linear to cut down effects from headwinds and improve aerodynamics? BTW Do you know of a great retailer of Tadpole Trikes, Recumbents including Linear, Limos and Longbikes called the Bicycle Man in Alfred New York, Just steps North actually in the small hamlet of Alfred Station NY? P.S I gather you may perhaps know a recumbent maker called Easyracers who made the Gold Rush Replica, but this had Above seat steering and you seem to primarily prefer USS. Any award for 50K subscribers?
No, I've never tried a fairing, or considering buying one. Yes I'm familiar with Bicycle Man LLC. I visited their store in 2019 to pick up the new frame for my Linear Limo.
Thanks for interesting video. I would not want to live there :D
I'm glad you enjoyed it. As much as I loved my visit to Iqaluit, I don't think I'd want to live there either.
man it must be so boring to live there....
As a tourist, I didn't find it boring at all, but I can understand what you mean. For a community of only 7,000 though, they actually seem to have more amenities than comparatively sized communities in Ontario for example.
@@cjhoyle yeah it would be interesting to visit for a few days but imagine living there for the rest of your life....
From watching interviews with people who live that far north (on Russian side) - looks like it takes a special kind of people to get attached to these faraway and harsh lands. Most come, spend some time, and then leave, while selected few just stay there, finding some kind of inner peace.
Places like this you have to pull your head out of the clouds. Embrace the local culture and cuisine.
thanks for the video cj. i was curious as to what kind of bike you were able to get ahold of, and how it rode [ if you have never ridden one like it ]. i also noticed those mega potholes , and how the image stabilization held up very well on them. last , 🤷🏾♂ that hot dog bun seemed a little on the " blackened " side of things 🤦🏾♂ but the chili looked inviting. its always enlightening seeing the different areas of the world, and whats going on, thats the beauty of social networking imo
I provided the make and model bike in the video description. It was a fairly standard department store bike. It only had 7 speeds, which wasn't great for the hills. It had a few minor issues, which I would have happily fixed, but I didn't have access to tools. I was just grateful to have any bike to use!
Thanks

I really enjoyed the tour - thanks for sharing. I've always been interested in the far north but don't think I'll ever make it there.
What a depressing place (ugly too) and its expensive AF...I don't understand why anyone would wanna leave there???
Trees don't grow because it doesn't get warm enough in the summer. Other places with long frigid winters but warmer summers do have trees.
No vegetation. It looks like one huge construction site.
Wow!!! Great to see a completely new kind of City and Topography. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing the experience cjhoyle. Big thumbs up!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved seeing this video! Congratulations on a milestone of 50,000 subscribers!
Thanks!
I'm surprised the flight is only 3 hours from Ottawa, going to Vancouver is longer lol
Vancouver is farther.
swear word
Neat! What equipment and video editing software do you use?
Thanks! I've included details about my equipment in the video description.
Love this video CJ ! I have always wondered how things are out there
What's the temperature in summer?
I visited during the late spring and it stayed around 0 degrees Celsius.
@@cjhoyle Not too bad. Not too hot, not absurdly cold. I'm weird, yes.
Where is the snow?
This was filmed on June 2nd, 2023.
@@cjhoyle planning to move soon in January. How is the temperature in January and February? Do I really need snow pant for the cold? Thanks
Exceptionally well done and perfectly narrated. Thanks for taking us with you. Looks as though it would be quite peaceful there. Andy ~ Atlantic Canada.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a very memorable trip!
CJHoyle !!!
This channel will grow !!!
Thanks!
I'm moving there in 2 months! I'm excited! I've been living in another Nunavut community for 2 years, and I'm happy to finally have some sense of normalcy again with the amenities available in Iqaluit!
Wow very cool! I hope to one day get to visit one of the other Nunavut communities too.
