In a fossilized yet timeless look , CBC Vancouver produced this for their show “Camera West”. Apparently much of the footage was taken lazily by a camera stuck out the window of a moving car, and far too much screen time is spent leering at women. Very 1966.
But most fossilized of all is the repeated assertion in the sententious voice-over that the West End was home to “. . . the new mid-century hybrid — the swinger”. My guess is that the writer may have been influenced by a trashy movie called “the Swinger“, released in 1966, in which an author writes a steamy sex novel, and then acts out its fantasies (orgies of voluptuous carnality). If not, then perhaps a related definition of this thoroughly obsolete term is enough.
And yes, there are bicycles.

Swinging and affordable! That $87.50 apartment would be $645 a month in today’s dollars.
