MOTHERLOAD - A Cultural Shift on Cargo Bikes

MET Forum

A community searching for freedom and connection in a gas-powered, digital, and divided world.

AMS Institute, Amsterdam Room

MOTHERLOAD is a crowd-sourced documentary about a new mother’s quest to understand our current cultural shift toward isolation and disconnection, what this could mean for the future of the planet, and how life on a cargo bike could be the antidote. As filmmaker Liz Canning explores the burgeoning global movement to replace cars with purpose-built bikes, she learns about the bicycle’s history and potential future as the ultimate “social revolutionizer.” Her experiences as a cyclist, as a mother, and in discovering the cargo bike world, make it clear to Liz that sustainability is not necessarily about compromise and sacrifice and there are few things more empowering, in an age of consumption, than the ability to create everything from what seems to be nothing.This event is organized by the MET Forum (Metropolitan Forum). The MET Forum is a student-led initiative to enhance discussions within and around the AMS Institute on metropolitan challenges, innovations, and solutions. Our events come in many shapes and forms including seminars, panels, and other activities.This event is sponsored by <a href="https://cargoroo.nl/en/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cargoroo</a>, the electric cargo bike sharing company transforming how we move in cities. This series of events could not be possible if not for the support of AMS, to whom we are very thankful.
