RAISING MONEY, ONE BLOCK AT A TIME

Every November, New York City bike messengers team up to raise money for the homeless by hosting an alleycat, which is an informal bicycle race through the streets. This year's edition, known as Cranksgiving 10, will take place Friday, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. starting at West 23rd Street and 11th Avenue. The race is open to everyone. All that is required is a bike, a bag and a lock. For more information, visit [www.cranksgiving.org](http://www.cranksgiving.org).
