Pedego Greenville Cranksgiving 2025

Welcome to Pedego Greenville Cranksgiving 2025! Join us at Pedego Electric Bikes Greenville for a fun-filled day of biking and giving back to the community. Get ready to pedal your way through a series of challenges while collecting items to donate to those in need. This in-person event is perfect for bike enthusiasts of all levels. Don't miss out on the chance to make a difference and enjoy a day of biking with fellow riders. Mark your calendars and get ready to crank up the excitement at Pedego Greenville Cranksgiving 2025!

The idea is simple: collect food and do it on a bike. The rules are minimal: be safe and have fun. The cause is an excellent one, and on Saturday, November 15, 2025 cyclists of all ages and abilities will gather to collect food for Upstate Food Not Bombs.

Cranksgiving is a combination alley-cat race and scavenger hunt, with participants pedaling throughout the city to visit area stores and collect holiday food items from a secret list. In an alley-cat race, cyclists can choose whatever route they want (streets, bike paths, alleys) to get to where they’re going. The list, or ‘Manifest’ is a collaboration between event organizers and a local charity, comprised of non-perishable food items and basic personal items.

Cyclists complete the ride by returning to the starting point within the time allotment. Bonuses may be given out for solving puzzles and collecting specific food items. No experience necessary, all ages and proficiencies on a bike are welcome.

The past few years participants have raved about this fun competition and raised hundreds of pounds of food to donate towards Harvest Hope and Upstate Food Not Bombs! We are looking forward to seeing everyone this year and having another great turnout!
