Cranksgiving - Food Drive on Two Wheels

Last weekend, over 300 cyclists in St. Louis collected over 3000 items of food in the city's annual Cranksgiving ride. It's a food drive and bike ride all rolled up into one, where cyclists follow a route that takes them past a couple of different grocery stores, where they purchase food for a local pantry.

Originally started by bike messengers in NYC, similar events are taking place across the United States this month in New York, Ann Arbor, LA, Omaha, Des Moines, and Milwaukee, just to name a couple. Check out if a Cranksgiving ride is taking place in your area. If there's not one scheduled, maybe you can start one yourself. It's not too hard - just a friend or two (or more) and a bike ride to the grocery store
