Cranksgiving is an annual charity event where cyclists compete in an alleycat style race while purchasing food items at stops along the way. The event is scheduled near the American Thanksgiving holiday and the food is donated to local food pantries. The event was started in New York City in 1999 and has since spread to other cities in the United States as well as in other countries. The first Cranksgiving event was November 20, 1999. New York City bicycle messenger Antonio Rodrigues came up with the idea of using an alleycat race as a charity event. A traditional alleycat is an unsanctioned race in which bicycle messengers compete against each other. In contrast, Cranksgiving has been described as "part bike ride, part food drive, part scavenger hunt". More information...
