Description:

Cranksgiving is a food drive on two wheels. It's part bike ride, part food drive, part scavenger hunt -- and all about community.

It's been held annually in New York City since 1999. Every year, throughout the country, shops and individuals organize Cranksgiving events to help provide thousands of those in need with a food during the holiday season. This year, we're including the Windy City in this national movement!

All you need is your bicycle, helmet, lock, map or city knowledge, and $20-25 to purchase goods.

Registration/check-in starts at 10am at Cosmic Bikes (with some energizing beverages and snacks on hand). All riders will receive a list of items to buy from specific grocery stores around the NW Side, all accessible via local roads and trails.

Once you've acquired everything you're able to on the list, come on back to Cosmic Bikes for a closing party, complete with pizza and tasty beverages from a local brewery.

Everyone participating in our Cranksgiving event will be entered in a raffle to win fun bike-themed prizes and prizes from our favorite local businesses!
