Cranksiving 2025
The Buffalo Bike community is made up of some of best people. Over 180 cyclists including a large contingent from the East Side Bike Club joined in GoBike’s annual Cranksgiving, the annual bike
scavenger hunt to collect shelf stable foods to donate to the efforts of Food Not Bombs, Provisions 139 and the Frank G. Merriweather Jr. Library Food Pantry.
4541 pounds of food was collected to help those groups care for our neighbors in these difficult times. We are glad the weather held out while all the riders safely made their collections and returned with such a great largesse.
Join us next year!
East Side Bike Club Rolls On…
Even though we are headed quickly to fall, East Side Bike Club is still rolling. We defied some potentially threatening weather and made it out this past Saturday, making our own sunshine.
And we got doughnuts too. There is still plenty of time to get some riding in. If you want to enjoy the friendship of the East Side crew, just get your bike and come join us.

East Side Bike Club is looking for volunteers
If you have ever been on one of the area’s many great group bike rides, each one, including East Side Bike Club, has a group of volunteers dedicated to insuring the ride is a safe one for everybody. These folks use their bikes and themselves to block intersections so the group ride can stay safe and together. In bike circles, this is referred to as corking the intersection so traffic flow is stopped and the bike ride can safely pass.
The East Side Bike Club is looking for some additional bike enthusiasts to join us on our rides starting in May as “Corkers.” If you’d like to get involved, ride with some great people, and see more of the city, contact our Program Coordinator, Chris Lawson at 716-316-5341.
