    Starting Point was at the Don Valley golf Course 401 is the busiest highway in North America yes even more busy then the freeways in California, I am so old I remember when the Don Valley Parkway use to end at Steeles Ave. I grew up in this part of Toronto (Don Mills)

    Interesting loop drive around T.O. I've occasionally thought of doing something similar around my city (Oshawa), although it would be all surface streets and concession roads, no highways. This was an interesting change of pace from either Striding or E-riding. I enjoyed the video, thanks very much. 🙂

      I mean you could do 401, 412, 407 and 418 but it’s very costly.

      29:31 I remember Them days I sat in the back of the bus and flew out of my seat whenever the driver went over a bump. I didn't sit back there simply to be a "cool kid" because I got bullied, beat up, and then in high school I was sexually exploited. So, no! I sat back there at every chance I got because it was so dadgone fun! ☺️👊🏻😆👊🏻

    @13:00 I think Myth busters did an episode on lane changing and they proved you actually take longer then if you just pick a lane and stick to it.
    I did this once but I started northbound on the Allen expwy and then finished south bound.
    Always though this would be a cool bike loop to ride and raise money for a charity, but I guess would be hard to shut down that many roads all at once.

    At 11:42 you can see a double dump truck trailer that seems oddly similar to the one that caused a shutdown of the DVP a few weeks ago

    I’m not saying as insult but it amazes me that people can make a good enough living off of TH-cam and especially to make enough money to live in a city like Toronto. I need to seriously reconsider my life choices.

    Nice ride. Toronto main roadways are well set out, mostly east/west north/south. Is there no gas station closer to Enterprise? That Shell is quite a distance away. Did you burn a big chunk of the $38. top-up just to return the car?

    I already don't like driving locally in Europe but Toronto traffic is much more frustrating, Toronto should focus on public transit and discourage driving but there is not much hope for drastic changes at TTC I guess.

    Popeye's going out of business 'cuz their chicken is too expensive (actually, not just theirs, all of them) nowadays. I remember being able to get an 8-piece box for $18.99 around 2019 and now they want $25.99 for it, a 36% increase over just a few years. Ridiculous.

    Nice video. Driven those highways way too many times, and in the worst of traffic jams... However, I will say, everyone who lives in Toronto thinks its the best city in the world. I've worked there for over 20 years. There's nothing great about it. Apart from the beaches area, its ugly AF. Nothing but concrete and glass everywhere. It stinks like sewage and garbage. The drivers in and around the city are insane. They're ready to die and take anyone else with them. You have a pretty good chance of getting knifed on the subway or catching a bullet at night. I could go on forever... I'm glad I don't have to commute to that hellhole every day anymore and I get to work from home now.

    You gotta be loopy to do this so-called loop! Absolute waste of time and $. Toronto does not cater to cars! Everyone should put up with everyone elses shit on shitty transit, with horrible customer service, and bedbugs everywhere. And let's build more condos and drop all speed limits to 30km/h 🫡
