Johnny Strides is the handle of John Hicks, who’s been posting videos of his walks – mostly in Toronto but elsewhere as well – since before the COVID pandemic. His YouTube channel has thousands of videos and he’s adding more on a daily basis. In an interview with Spacing Magazine in 2024 he said “I really just want to capture the world going by”. The Toronto Star profiled him in 2021, when his YouTube channel had over 60,000 subscribers; there’s now over 139,000 subscribers watching Johnny walk. You can also find him on Instagram.
