About The Team


The Fingerlakes Crankspinners are a middle and high school mountain bike team operating out of the Ithaca area who are committed to sharing their love for bikes with the community. Our team is composite meaning we are not affiliated with one particular school but instead, we are made up of riders from all over the area. For the 2024 season, our coaching staff and rider lineup has changed, with Jason Harrington taking the Role of head coach. We are committed to creating a fun, inclusive program to better our community. The Crankspinners are an officially sanctioned NICA New York mountain bike team, participating in the NICA NY Spring League cross-country circuit.
