r/dayton

I’ve been wanting to commute more via bike around Dayton and take advantage of the growing cycling infrastructure but I’m never sure if a place has a spot to park and secure bikes. This free app solves that problem. It’s community-driven. If you find a location that has bike racks you can take a picture and select which type of bike rack there is from a drop-down menu. You can even leave some notes. Then you just hit submit and there it is on the map. It looks like not many people know about it so there isn’t a ton of info here yet but I figure I would share this and hopefully some people will give it a try. Maybe we can fill the map in for Dayton and the surrounding areas together.

Happened Friday. I dropped it while getting gas at speedway off Huffman ave and S Smithville road. I left to get back on US-35, I should have yielded for this red truck with landscape company stickers. They proceeded to follow me for miles down us-35 trying to get my attention, waving out the window and eventually even waving my wallet out the window at me. I know it sounds stupid and oblivious. But at that point I had no idea I even lost my wallet. I thought dude was being a dixk and I didn’t wanna get shot. But don’t always assume the worst out of people. I paid my rent that day and withdrew the REST of my money for two weeks. I didn’t realize til I reached my destination 3 hours away…
The Montgomery county property room has got back to me with no luck. I can’t even get ahold of the Dayton property room though, I’ve called like 50 times and called the sheriffs office. Ugh.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
If the man in the truck sees this I truly apologize for my ignorance and thank you for trying so hard to help.

My three guitars have been neglected through my past two moves. I likely need to give them a good clean, condition the fretboards, and definitely restring them before I dive back into music.

Once upon a time i would’ve popped into Absolute Music to take care of that, but that’s no longer an option.

I know of a few music places around, but am interested to see if folks have any specific reccomendations and or spots to stay away from. I’d prefer locally owned and to stay away from Guitar Center or other chains if possible (not that I don’t think the folks there aren’t fully capable and knowledgeable, I’d just rather support small when I can).

Thanks!

I am interested in joining a run club and saw the Dayton track club. Curious if anyone knew anything about it? I don't run. I just figured it would be a good way to meet people

I live in the Kettering area and wondering if there are any places with cones out to practice maneuverability when I can. The only location I know of is in Huber Heights. I’m hoping there are more and a bit closer if possible

So I’m a wannabe sewist, interested in garment making specifically. I know Jo Ann‘s mostly carried quilting fabric before and that Michael’s sells some now, but I honestly have no more clue where to look to buy apparel fabric. My first instinct is to try the thrift stores to get fabric that would be good for practicing with anyways, so if there are specific recommendations in that regard as to where to find some secondhand bedsheets/tablecloths etc or even just clothes I can upcycle for that purpose, I’d love to know! but also, are there really any stores in the area anymore that just sell fabric, with good selection for garments thats natural fibers? (not interested in using anything like polyester). And I really don’t want to have to resort to buying fabric online until I get a better feel for different fabrics and how they work up.

Also if there’s any kind of community/local resources you could suggest for this kind of thing, I’d love to know. I am a complete beginner but I’ve done just about every other kind of fibre art so I feel pretty confident of my figure-it-out-with-YouTube approach, so I dunno that I would wanna take classes, but any suggestions on some kind of community meet up/bring your own project night for help kind of thing may be useful to know about for the future - even better if it’s somewhere that also sells fabric like I’m looking for!
