Bonus Event: Cargo Show and Tell
Prior to the film, come check-out a wide variety of cargo bikes (electric and people-powered) and chat with their owners about what works for them to make family transportation by bike easy and fun. Cargo-bike loving folks will have their bikes on display from 10:30-11:30am next to Hopewell Avenue Public School for an informal cargo bike Show & Tell. All are welcome! We will also have volunteers on hand to watch over the bikes during the documentary.
