Here’s a post that shows that, even if the NCBW staff doesn’t know the answer, we’re probably just one or two links removed from someone who does. Sharon asked about cycling in the Dayton area…

Hello!  Do you know where I can go, to find out what route to take to ride from home to work in the Southwest area of Ohio?

Thanks.

Sharon

Hi Sharon –

I don’t have any information on bicycling to work in Southwest Ohio, but am cc’ing this message to an old friend, Don Burrell, who is Senior Planner and Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator for the OKI
(Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana) Regional Council of Governments. If he can’t help you, he’s sure to
know who can.

As a separate message, I’ll send you a copy of Don’s “OKI Bicycle E-Info News”
newsletter.Cheers!

A. Sharon,
Dayton puts you outside of OKI’s planning area, but Dayton is more bike friendly for commuters and has a wonderful trail network. I will hand you off to Chuck Smith, a member of the Dayton Cycling Club and president of the Ohio Bicycle Federation.

You will find bike commuting resources from the Dayton club

   and from the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission, our counterpart transportation planning agency for Dayton.

A. Sharon,

On Markey Road, you are near the northern end of the Dayton River Corridor Bikeway. Pick up the Bikeway in the Dayton Heart Hospital parking lot, and ride south.  The Dayton River Corridor Bikeway (also known as the Great Miami Trail) will take you as far south as the Montgomery/Butler County border.
