the value and effort present in every minuscule item made people realise how much it's worth, we take everything we have for granted because of how easily it comes to us.

I miss early Toronto... now the city is a giant outdoor shopping mall

Warm colours, nice film. I remember bicycle couriers in the late 80s in London and Sydney, always admired their nerve, didn't have the bottle to do it myself!

I'm a toronto messenger in 2024, and I have the same MOG jersey as the guy at 9:16 wow

now its all Indians on ebikes 🥲

Nowadays people won't ride a bike for 30 minutes if they are not dressed in full tour of France outfit

Critical masss ❤🎉

Back in the good ol days when the Toronto streets weren't over run with DoorDash guys on ebikes and negative cycling iq..

Kinda cool & interesting recognizing so many locations and seeing how theyve added bike lanes etc. A lot of the spots I ride almost daily & Wild to see them biking on what looks like the expressway too. I wonder where these people are today, if theyre still doing this. Anyway great video, thanks for sharing :-)

Fabulous! Inspiring!

Back in the day rhis guys used to eide all day long whiteout Lycra now too many dumba ss es commute 35 min to work in full tour of France Lycra

No hardhats back in those days or safety boots. Those timbers they're lifting might hurt a bit should one fall! OUCH!🤕

I used to do trades relief at Black Creek Pioneer Village where this was videoed ... I knew him ... he was a brilliant craftsman and a great guy. The shop is exactly as I remember it.

Awesome

This barn was located at Rutherford Road and Weston rd. It was about 500 feet to the west and 200 feet south of Rutherford road. It was raised in 1929, in the Summer, just before the Great Depression started in the late Fall. I have been in the barn in the 1970's when it was owned by the Auger Family. One farm over to the east was the Mac Neil family farm that was there from the 1840s. The house in the video was owned at one time by the Rutherford family for which Rutherford road is named after. I took a picture of the house about 10 years before it was demolished. I always hated the fact that the barn could not be saved, and was demolished to make way for a strip mall.

Kind of a bit lost souls...

The core whore statement made me lol. Short board is still a messenger. When I rode in San Francisco in 99' /2000 I was short board (aka core whore) I would pound those streets 8 hours for 45/50 deliveries. Felt pretty intense for me. All respect for long board riders for sure though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGXFkIKch9Fne6ssi=OshUi-IIJQOhqx6c

That was a great documentary.

This documentary hit home, even though I never even been to Toronto, amazing. Btw If someone can tell me the name of the song in the credits, I'd be the happiest cyclist!

Big respect för these people!

Richard M Hoe discovered the power driven cylindercal press in mid 19th century.

Superb!

I love this! Excellent work and thank you for the helpful information. I'm going to research the equipment used to do something similar.

not yet monetized but they are posting advertisements on your channel.. maybe a claim on the video already.. just thought you would like to know...

I love watching videos like this… I admire the gentleman who is teaching. I just hope that younger people will take the time to learn and pass it on too. There are so many things that have been lost in the past 100 years. Sad. 👍👍👍👍👍🐢

I worked for KGV I think thats what they were called. They called us the russians anyway. It was 1999 or 2000, worked from march to august and LOVED it, but it was hard to survive on the pay so had to move on. Best job i ever had.

Crass shirt ❤

beautiful

I'm guessing any kind of modern power assisted bikes are untouchable within thier sphere.

The mystery is not much of a mystery. It would have been some sort of distress flare Similar to this kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXfIm42Zid2Ij68 the wind that night made it look to the observer that it was flying at a diagonal. When a flare goes into the ocean and burns it creates Sulphur hence the yellow foam.

Heroes. All of them .

I run a more modern one at my job learned it very quick

Soooooo beautiful! Absolutely love it ❤🎉

beautiful Shag Harbour!

Thanks, it was a fun watch

We take SO much for granted. We would not be in the highly evolved world we live in today, without men like this, and many others before him, who honed a craft into artistry and made the generations coming afterward even more prosperous in so many ways. This is individual liberty and the right to carve one's path without interference from the state is the backbone of progress.

Is it out yet

a thing of beauty!

This is so excellent.

Any idea what size those pattern plates are?

What song is playing towards the end?

I'm 2 yars into fixed gear and this is something incredibly amazing for me. The community i've never seen any other community that friendly and helpful and joyful and free. Like literally there's no rules it's just you and the road. These videos from the good ol' days is something precious.

Personally for me these people are legends. More than any celebrities or athletes. True spirt of the streets.

It appears to be a single revolution press like a Heidelberg. I didn't know they were invented this early.

Interesting video. I ran a Wharfdale cylinder press when I was an apprentice in the 50s. Better image than a platen press anytime. I became a compositor later and spent 30 years working in various companies in the UK before starting my own litho printing company. I'm still printing, but it's digital now.

Charlie is awesome

How did you get the riding shots with a film camera?? TO looks so dirty and gritty... very cool

So cool to see Toronto way back then. Love Simone's song!

Adam sounds exactly like the voice behind Good Trails youtube channel that used to be based out of Toronto
