Cranksgiving 2023
Last month, an annual scavenger hunt took place in cities all around the country. You may have heard about this grassroots event, Cranksgiving.

Organizers across the United States choose a beneficiary and make lists of donation items needed, hand out a list to riders, and then choose store stops along the way for people to collect the items from. The cyclists choose their own routes to get to the various destinations.

Sometimes organizers give out prizes to stoke excitement for categories like "fastest team", "most generous", etc.

We love this event because it gives people the opportunity to help out their local community in an active way. The energy of Cranksgiving inspires lofty donations through the undeniable power of teamwork.
