Achievement unlocked! The new ebike handled the Pottery Rd. climb very well. Enjoyed seeing all the ebike/escooter rides this summer.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks 👍

[@georgehoward9306]

Thanks again for the informative fine videos!

[@gabriellen.2886]

That's a great bike! As they become more popular, we can expect things like battery life and other features to upgrade and improve, responding to consumer demands. We live in a cool age for tech of all sorts:-)

[@JohnnyStrides]

I agree!

[@citydrivertours]

Good Ride , can you please make a video on Torontos airport?

[@missyogiebear]

He has 4 videos of the airport already inc this one : kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYrEqWRra8p9o80 He is going to Europe soon (my guess Prague?) And then later on Japan, so I'm sure he'll film his journeys through the airport then.

[@citydrivertours]

@@missyogiebear thank you 👍

[@pervaizkhan2312]

Looking always beautiful. Appreciate you.

I’m miss Toronto

[@wingzero7316]

Why you move out of Torono

[@chrissinclair8705]

That's a really nice e-bike, I checked out the specs. Hell if I could make it to Oshawa on one charge with some to spare on my 15A battery you could make it no problem.

[@sandorvarga.6982]

SUCCESS.activasion.

[@Gary_Snook]

What’s the max air/PSI those tires can take?

[@11xurr22]

It’s morning in Toronto

[@gabriellen.2886]

...p.s. Yeah, nobody's gonna get out of the way for THAT genteel horn - get yourself an air horn and shake Canada up when you ride LOL they'll move then! 🤣

[@dougwedel9484]

Gil Pedalosa for Toronto mayor!

[@JohnnyStrides]

He's certainly the most qualified candidate!

[@dougwedel9484]

@@JohnnyStrides that sounds like an endorsement from you. He can use a lot of endorsements from active travel advocates. The day I found out about this I popped my head in the doorway of a bike repair shop and asked the staff, have you ever heard of Gil Penalosa? And all of them said no. One said, Gil Pedalosa? And I corrected his pronunciation but said, I love the direction you are taking! He said it's easier to remember his name that way. I agreed. But that would be for people who already approve of him. We need to win over some of the driving public, not just cyclists. His KZbin videos A Walk In The Park have very few views and many have no comments under them. He's famous in the traffic planning world but nowhere else, not even with cyclists. He's never going to win if that doesn't change. Not this election, not any election. So I want to find ways to let the general public become familiar with him so he does win this October.

[@Patrickair4444]

What is your speed at

[@JohnnyStrides]

32kmh is the max, I was going slower for most of this one.

[@ASH-was-my-handle]

You really not going to change the bike seat or have add motor got it right.

[@JohnnyStrides]

It's quite comfortable, I'm not going to change it.

[@transportationland6395]

hi livestream

[@willyG503]

Toronto it's like a desert, no people on the streets!!

[@Teejel]

Johnny please, please leave Toronto we’re begging you. Every facet of your life will improve. Imagine nature parks that aren’t infested with dirty people with no respect, imagine living by the sea, imagine living in a bike-centric city, imagine living in a place without race-to-the-bottom mentality, imagine not having to flip people off every time you bike in the city, imagine Johnny, just imagine. You’re better than this Johnny.

[@missyogiebear]

What lol.. we're? Who's the we? Just you? I live in a small market town...where parks have people inc teenagers with no respect. Loads of dead heads, car drivers that don't have any respect for bikers or other cars tbh and we still have to swear at other road users (even as pedestrians) So, no matter where you are in the world every town or city have the same problems.

[@cnbtlr]

who the foook is this guy!

[@JohnnyStrides]

So what you're saying is... move to a city that doesn't exist?
