MOTHERLOAD

MOTHERLOAD: Film & Fundraiser

With Cargo Bike Show & Tell

2pm Sat, June 3, 2023

June is Bike Month, and this year we are kicking off the celebration with a special community film, conversation, and fundraiser to support Bike Edmonton!

Join us at the Garneau Lamp at 2pm on Saturday, June 3, for a "Cargo Bike Show and Tell" where you can try out different cargo bikes and ask questions of the owners. Following the chat, we'll head into Metro Theatre for special speakers and updates on Active Transportation in Edmonton and a special showing of the film MOTHERLOAD.

All proceeds to Bike Edmonton to support community programming. Suggested donation $20 adult, $7 children.

Space is limited, so RSVP!

SPECIAL THANKS to Councillor Michael Janz and his staff for organizing this amazing event.

MOTHERLOAD is a documentary in which the cargo bicycle becomes a vehicle for exploring parenthood. Conflict arises when characters in the film encounter cultural resistance—in particular, bikelash focused on women and mothers. (trailer)
