Toronto Travel: Toronto biking tour - Fancy mansions going up

These video clips were taken during my biking tour on July 15, 2007. I rode from Toronto's east end through the Taylor Creek Park through a phenomenal, virtually untouched nature area in Toronto's Don Valley to the neighbourhood of Leaside. From there I made way westwards through Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the upscale Rosedale area to the ravine system west of Bathhurst Street. After a brief stop at Salsa on St. Clair, Toronto's popular Latin street festival, now in its second year, I cycled down to the historic neighbourhood of Parkdale and from there to Toronto's Western Beaches at Sunnyside Park and stopped at Harbourfront on my way home.

Along the way I saw surprisingly pristine nature areas, busy street life, lots of free outdoor music and concerts and beachfront activity on this beautiful summer day. Almost 60 km later I finally arrived at home after a full day of discoveries.

The clips from this biking trip are part of my "Toronto Favourites" series and many more of these discoveries are to come. I am actually a travel writer, and whenever I am not out of town, I write about the city that I live in: Toronto, a city that has many cool places. I love to get out and explore the city and discover some new cool spots, and now you can enjoy them with me.
