Cranksgiving Baton Rouge
Cranksgiving Baton Rouge begins at 10 a.m. Nov. 23 at Electric Depot, 1509 Government St, Baton Rouge. The annual event invites cyclists of all levels to hit the streets of Baton Rouge for a bicycle-powered food drive benefiting the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank.
Part bike ride, part food drive and part scavenger hunt, Cranksgiving transforms an ordinary day of cycling into an opportunity to give back. Riders are provided with a list of local grocery stores where they’ll purchase nonperishable food items, then return to Electric Depot to donate what they’ve collected.
The ride combines fun, community and a shared commitment to helping local families in need during the holiday season.
Cranksgiving began in New York City in 1999 and has since spread to cities across the country. Each event is locally organized and open to riders of all experience levels. The Baton Rouge version started in 2016 and was organized by Bike Baton Rouge.
The event is free and open to the public, and there is no registration fee. Participants simply bring their own bicycles and plan to spend around $30 purchasing food to donate. Participants should have some way to safely carry groceries with them on their bikes.
