Crawdaddy's LBC Christmas Giving Ride
Saturday, December 6, 2025 · Ride rolls out at 12:00 PM
Starting from: Middle of Town Cycling (2140 Gardiner Ln, Louisville, KY 40205)
Join us for the fourth annual Crawdaddy's LBC Christmas Giving Ride on Saturday, December 6th at noon! This festive holiday tradition, which began in 2022, is hosted by the Louisville Bicycle Club in honor of its founder, Michael “Crawdaddy” Crawford. Together, we’ll spread joy, raise funds, and embrace the holiday magic!
Our club has a long history of making Louisville a healthier, happier, and more bicycle-friendly community. This year, we’re proud to once again partner with the Cabbage Patch Settlement House, a local nonprofit founded in 1910 that helps at-risk children and families achieve greater self-sufficiency through a variety of life-changing programs. Every December, their “Christmas Partner Program” provides food, clothing, and gifts to families in need—and we’re here to help.
We’re asking club members and supporters to join us in making the season brighter for local families. Donations can be made directly to the Louisville Bicycle Club or by check, and all proceeds will support the Cabbage Patch’s Christmas Partner Program.
To kick things off, the club is donating $500 to the cause. Thank you for helping us make a difference this December!
