Don River Trail (Toronto) - Narrated Bike Ride

This video shows my Thursday May 4th, 2022 cycling tour of portions of the the West Don Trail and the Lower Don River Trail in Toronto. The video begins on Leslie St just north of Eglinton Ave and ends just beyond the trail's crossing of Pottery Rd.

The bike I was riding is a non-folding Linear Limo Recumbent Bike. More info about this bike in the link above. I filmed this using my GoPro HERO 9 Black action camera mounted to the main frame tube of the bike at the front with a custom 3D printed plastic bracket. I recorded the audio with a Panasonic voice recorder and earpiece microphone.

Thank you so much for another good video. I really miss your bike packing trips

[@cjhoyle]

Thank you.

[@theflipside_63]

Thanks for this CJ. After more than a month of waiting, I will be getting my bike this weekend. I'll definitely try this route.

[@cjhoyle]

Thanks. Very exciting, happy cycling!

[@froggerc625]

Wow that entrance road looks like a decade past its best before date! Thanks for the video.

[@cjhoyle]

Thanks. Ya definitely!

[@ting280]

that tall building is the Foresters building. it's an American life insurance company, I worked there in the call center like 10 years ago. it's across the street from the science center, which I had to rewatch twice to spot through the trees

[@cjhoyle]

Oh wow, I stand corrected! I always thought that was the Science Centre. I guess it has somewhat similar architecture and built around the same time.

Your video was very stable even over that broken asphalt at the beginning of the video. Very cool! And a fun episode, as always.

[@cjhoyle]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. My action camera's electronic image stabilization is pretty impressive.

[@themasked7384]

[@cjhoyle]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

I hope you are able to do a bike camping vacation trip this year.🤞 those are my favorite videos you do.

[@AliPez]

Me too! Like the bike tours the best.

[@cjhoyle]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@ryanascotty]

Thanks for taking us along. I did 43 kms up here in Bradford today.

[@cjhoyle]

Awesome, nicely done!

[@adventureswithjosie]

Nice video Christopher! It has been a cold spring. I actually haven't got out on my bike yet between the cold and wet weather, and being busy with other things. Hopefully I'll get out soon! I like your different shots of video that you did in with the second camera. It's neat to see more of what you are biking past!

[@cjhoyle]

Thanks!

[@heraldo2881]

Another cool video CJ.. what are your plans this year for vacation... is it a biking or canoeing trip?

[@cjhoyle]

Thanks! I'm hoping to be able to do lots of biking and paddling this summer. As far as trips go, I prefer to keep the details secret until after they've finished.

@@cjhoyle lol i noticed that you make a lot of your strava rides private and then upload them later. Do you think that you will get a lot of people to try to find you and ride with you or something? I dont think it's such a big deal to tell people about your trips.

[@cjhoyle]

@@alexandrup1078 No it's nothing like that. If you've noticed me going that recently, it's probably from rides where I was playing a game called #BikeTag. This game consists of posting a photo of your bike in front of a landmark around the city, and others trying to figure out where it is. Having my rides public on Strava is just too much of a giveaway, so I leave them private until someone has successfully found them.
