[@kathleenwallace1165]

Thanks for showing this peaceful part of Toronto!

[@masvas1]

I cycled down by there dozens of times, and bladed too. It's amazing to find a place like this at the foot of the city.

[@大叔的退休生活]

It is like a popular bike riding place, so many people are riding. Beautiful morning

[@verasileikis17]

That was a fun ride and I love the exchange with the older gentleman at the end. Thanks for taking us along!

[@Toye2020]

[@xtian984]

well planed route, beautiful weather nice video

[@patriciahall2223]

Lovely to see this area of the city , you always delight us with your journey's around our beautiful Toronto ....thank you so much great video ....

[@RockyLofeudo999]

Hi. Another Great Video!!! I have been there so many times and enjoyed everyone of them, walking or riding is amazing. I remember the first time being there way back in the mid to late 70’s. it has change very much since then. Keep up the great footage.

[@rosaannarilli4905]

Hi! you said that you been to Tommy Thompson Part just wondering, how long did it take to walk around the park. It's just that I would like to go but worry it might take to long to walk the park.

[@RockyLofeudo999]

Rosa Annarilli Hi. It took me about 2.5 hrs maybe a bit more. I took my time, I just walked at a leisurely pace. I'm sure if you walk a bit quicker 2hrs seems about right.

[@rosaannarilli4905]

@@RockyLofeudo999 Thank you so much!

[@RockyLofeudo999]

Rosa Annarilli Your welcome 😎

[@denisegwilliams8614]

I guess my first move should be my first move lol🤣 I can see some of the leaves start to change in the beginning of the ride they look so pretty 😍 when I say that was an awesome view👍 I enjoyed this beautiful narrative ride Johnny thanks for bringing us along 🤗💞🤗

[@shon0369]

Liked this one heaps ! Never really biked this area when I lived in T.O. Great spot , almost seems like your not in a city. P.S. Sorry for the buzzed up comments and stuff , been getting it in before going back to worky next Monday .. Keep up the great work and evolution in this medium.

[@dahmanemellahi7589]

Thanks

[@transportationland6395]

Went their today with family at 3pm, had to take multiple breaks in the shade of the trees, 😂 we walked the whole way and back. Could of rented bikes but I heard there is a 30min limit. Saw 1 E scooter riding on the path. Also wished there was more proper bathrooms not just porta potties and more drinking fountains. Overall amazing park!

[@okletsgo9135]

I was here in August on my bike. I remember bunny hopping over all those darn speed bumps! Haha. We gotta ride together next season, bro.

[@marcusm5619]

It was definitely a great day this past Saturday for biking. I was jogging at Colonel Samuel Smith Park this past Saturday and noticed a lot more cyclist as well. Great video! 👍👍👍

[@JohnnyStrides]

It might have been one of the last great weekends we have this year! That's a beautiful park you went for a jog in!

[@simmerszalai9196]

haven't been down to cherry beach long while sure has changed early 2000's

[@AcidGlow]

I remember that place. It is definitely a biking route. It's too far on foot to reach the Lighthouse.

[@educ9283]

Great Park!! across the waters... so I had read the park It´s landfill with cosntruction waste of subways and buildings since 1950 of Toronto... In sum it´s a man made peninsula... It´s awesome for the city.

[@angurajr6839]

Beautiful place 😍😍tis is the best of Ur videos

[@funnydog2448]

....the end of August there are tons of monarch butterflies here....

[@estelle9188]

Hi friend Saturday was my birthday watching from Melb, Australia 🙂 looks nice thanks for showing us around I really enjoy your videos

[@JohnnyStrides]

Happy birthday and you're welcome!

[@rosaannarilli4905]

Estelle, Happy Birthday hope you had a wonderful day!🎈🎈🎁🎂🍰

[@chetna009]

Loved the bike ride. Was so much fun😋😇

[@Nouvellecosse]

Would be nice to see a video about the bike. What brand and model it is, its weight, build materials, groupset, etc. and some info about the history behind it. How you two met, how long you've been together, some of the off-camera adventures, etc.

[@JohnnyStrides]

I've talked about it and shown it in a number of videos in bits and pieces. I'll do a video on all of my equipment and gear in the future and will include the bike again. Cheers

[@sohan7068]

Johnny Rides!

[@robertkarp6336]

Great video showing off a lovely park with stunning views. I'm amazed how many pedestrians make it out that far. And do they really need that many speed bumps?

[@JohnnyStrides]

I agree, the speed bumps are a bit much lol

[@sabuzacwalker3822]

Best driving

[@rosaannarilli4905]

Johnny, I really enjoyed this video, think you!

[@alyjaffer8885]

Awesome view bro. Yo Johnny if you want a road bike. I discovered something called a 1972 Peugeot Grand Sport. It's really fast and awesome. Kijiji to find it.

[@alexandrup1078]

"my first move nobody move, right?" "i dunno" lmaoooooo

[@educ9283]

There needs some houses and small harbours with restaurants... like Holland has across his gained lands...

[@elianeliu6259]

🥰🤗💕🤗

[@missyogiebear]

Oh how i miss the single speed bike videos.....

[@JohnnyStrides]

I'm going to do one soon!!!

[@three3us]

Hey Jonny ,this video was amazing ,i realized how beautifull is that park.The next ride you could attach the camera on your helmet in order to us see what your eyes are seeing when you turn the head. thanks to share this ride

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks! I've stopped using the helmet cam, in general I find it too jerky but perhaps it would work here since I don't have to constantly check my blind spots versus on the roads.

[@noemilopez9834]

Well 👍🌸

[@RockyLofeudo999]

That part of the trail you were on going towards Cherry Beach isn’t that new, its been there ever since i can remember and that goes back along time. The Bridge you went over is fairly New the trail is much older into Cherry Beach.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Correct, that was my bad. It was the stretch just before I hopped on that runs along the southern edge of the park (which I skipped) that's new.

[@JJJ-xl8io]

Used to like the old singe lane bridge and narrow part for pedestrians. It was something different.

[@funnydog2448]

..... another gem in our city! What type of bike do you have?

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thank you! It's just a basic KHS Urban Soul single speed, circa 2014-15 (don't know exactly).

[@stanjones2126]

Pretty sure that red car near the end was one of the original Tesla Roadsters.

[@ЭлдервейрСВОБОДУНАВАЛЬНОМУ]

best view on the toronto

[@JohnnyStrides]

One of them for sure!

[@canonto2008]

You are working so hard: daily walk/bike?

[@JohnnyStrides]

Ideally yes, sometimes 2 :)

[@BGRANT777X]

I always narrowly miss being in your videos... Did you find it cold down there? I under dressed for sure.

[@JohnnyStrides]

I didn't find it cold at all and kind of regretted having a sweater on lol

[@markli6232]

How did you get your bike to the starting point?

[@JohnnyStrides]

I rode there from my home, then I rode back at the end lol (which I recorded and will upload to my other channel eventually).

[@markissboi3583]

🦜au 2008 moved into a bording share house 2010 i asked myself why do i need a car ? no parking area avail & everything is 10 - 20m 🚲 bike ride - if 1/2hr tram ride $2 to Beach . no parking fees no car maintence $ or bills if i have to go home 6hrs on a bus about $60 return 👍 i wonder how much i Havent spent on Car fees tottal

[@watsonbeattie7183]

Can you do a video for Niagara on the lake please.

[@wileyayu9342]

Is e-scooter allowed there?

[@JohnnyStrides]

Technically no, but nobody will care.

[@transportationland6395]

Saw a few people riding E scooters ago last summer, seems like you will have no problem this time.

[@m.martinez5529]

The road quality so bad specially near to beach area
