Drivers are CRAZY! 55km Toronto Bike Commute 

This exactly matches my experience: most people driving normally, a handful of angry insecure motorists passing way too close and way too fast, a handful of drivers (and pedestrians) who aren't even looking. Special mention to the drivers who tailgate you so closely that they can smell your farts. I wish that in order to get a driving license they required people to spend a few hours on a bicycle in traffic.

Those trails in the Humber are awesome. It'll be nice once they connect through past the golf course all the way down to the waterfront. You can ride them for quite a piece.

Cycling obstacle course 101 - Stuff me, as long as the bike's okay 🤣 Keep staying safe out there Erik

The RU-vid channel "Not Just Bikes" - dude is from London, ON. He always speaks on how awful Ontario is road-wise if you don't have a car.

People always say they don’t see you. They see you, they just don’t care. Drivers will run you off the road while making eye contact with a confused face like why are you in my way

I got hit last October. Had to have knee surgery. Landed head first onto the concrete busting my head open. It’s taken me from October 3rd last year to just this August 2nd to get back on my bike and to get the nerve to ride on the roads again. PLEASE be careful out there. ✌️

Hi Erik that was another fun ride from work! Glad you made it again you smashed it! you saved gas, enjoy the new route and with all the obstacles you went thru was something else you hurdled as cyclist specially with that lady driver who was not paying attention at all and which bring me to my experience almost get crushed crossing an intersection at erin mills. same scenario driver wasnt looking at his right when he was turning and stupid me i was trying to cross quickly without making an eye contact with the driver and bang! Had his car not equipped with sensor thing where it stopped quickly inches away from my bike and If that was caught on camera would be fun to watch. so yeah lesson learned as you said gonna be defensive and anticipate the moves on your surrounding. thanks for sharing and hope to ride alongside with u one day . always ride safe and DGDC rocks!

I used to commute from Don Mills down to Rosedale station for years before COVID has me working from home. I really enjoyed the 55km round trip (home leg, I'd go down to the Portlands and then do a lap on the spit before heading north.)... I kinda miss the ride to start and end the day, but working from home rocks.

I commute to work 30 mins I get cut off multiple times almost hit by cars, nobody checks blind spots, drivers cutting you off and like crazy drivers

Looks like a fun ride, I miss living in the Toronto area. I wasnt far from you, Credit Valley/Erin Mills area of Mississauga

What a long ride. Fun thing is I know all the paths you took. Maybe i would try it once i am more confident and experienced with my e-bike. For now, short rides only 😁

as a european, i am shocked at how bad your infrastructure is for cyclists.

These are the things that make us Zwifters full time. Be careful Eric

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed the cyclocross section. I'm looking at getting a camera for safety. What are you using? I noticed the Varia rear radar, I just got mine and it has made such a huge difference.

No doubt this'll get some heat here. But the city was never built to consider bikes and it's mostly a waste of money to even put in the infrastructure. 9/10 when you go downtown and see a bike lane a courier truck, delivery truck or uber driver is parked in it. I'm honestly surprised more people are hit and killed by cars than there are.

Great vlog. How do you get the data on your video?

Amazing video. How do you get maps that show bike trails and routes?

Funny how he always cut away before stop signs. I wondered whether he stopped once.

Don’t blame the car drivers. They’re checking their Facebook and eating their sandwiches - they can’t be looking out for cyclists when they’ve got so many other things going on.

What type of telemetry application are you using?

I'm abit biased but the route via brampton felt way more safer, I do not trust weston or toronto drivers in that area

Great video and stay safe! How do you get all that data on your video?

You made me watch this whole thing for absolutely no reason. I was thinking there was an accident or something. This was like a real drama queen moment. 😂🤣😆🤌

what front light brand/model are you using?

Old Dragon...u are crossing the red line...putting yourself at risk,u have no chances against cars !!! i know that by hard trial,3 times have been hit by a car in Italy while riding,last time 1y ago on a roundabout a Suv hit me on the right shoulder,4 days in the hospital in Mestre near Venice,collarbone,scatula and several ribs damaged,2 months could not sleep during the night only some hours in day time,took me 2 months to be back on the bike...when this happens 2u,after is only Watopia... !!! Old Dragon.

Fun video, thanks for putting this together. What software do you use for all the overlay info?

what do you record video with?

looked a fun ride except that dumb lady turning out on you, loved how the black car really gave you space a showed off

Wonder if this guy stops at red lights or stop signs

Insane drivers is why I don't bike on roads, only multi-use trails. I don't trust people in a car, why would I trust them on a 20 something pound bike that they can bully? I'd rather be safe.

Can’t you ride on the sidewalk when there’s no bike lane

Car slaves are so agressive and angry.
