For those unfamiliar with our unique take on Cranksgiving – our ride format is self-led with a "make your own route" style so you can choose how far and where you ride. This is not an organized ride with a pre-planned route. Riders receive a "checkpoint" manifest that gives different options at which to stop. The goal is to visit as many checkpoints as possible within the allotted timeframe, then all riders meet at the finish point to submit their completed manifest, where we'll distribute prizes. You can go in any order and follow whichever route you choose, and volunteers will be on hand to help you build your route if you need help. Check out this video from News 12 to see what this event is like.

All ages and skill levels welcome. Come solo, bring friends, or we’ll help match you with a group. Costumes are optional — but highly encouraged (Thanksgiving or leftover Halloween vibes always win big).

SummaryJoin us for Brooklyn Cranksgiving — the annual bike-powered food drive and scavenger hunt that’s part bike ride, part adventure, and 100% fun!
