Cranksgiving Iowa City 2026

On Sunday, November 15th – join Table to Table, the Iowa City Bike Library, and the amazing bike community of Iowa City (& beyond) to participate in the 8th Annual Cranksgiving Iowa City, presented by New Pioneer Co-op.

Cranksgiving is a two-wheeled food drive that blends community-building, giving, and adventure. Push your pedals with a purpose as you pack your bike bags with much-needed food and household items for the Johnson County Food Access Network. You’ll navigate city streets, urban trails, and store aisles to find the specific items listed on the manifest (scavenger hunt shopping list).

It costs nothing to register! You’ll need a bike, a helmet, a lock, and a bag (or basket, or rack, or cargo bike, or trailer, or other creative solution) to carry the goods. You’ll also need money (to purchase food items) and a charitable attitude! This event is intended to be “easy like Sunday morning” (not a race).
