Celebrate Bikes, Community & Climate Action at Motherload with Kidical Mass Adelaide

As part of Adelaide Climate Action Week (July 27 - August 2), we invite you to join us for a special screening of Motherload - an inspiring documentary about cargo bikes, family life, and the growing movement to reclaim our streets for people and planet.

This event is more than just a movie screening. It’s an opportunity to celebrate and reenergise the Kidical Mass Adelaide movement, connect with like-minded families and advocates and help shape the future of active transport in Adelaide.

In 2026, we are celebrating five years of the Kidical Mass Adelaide movement!

As our community continues to grow, we’re looking for new organisers and volunteers who are passionate about safer, more connected streets for children and families. In particular, we’re excited to begin our next major focus: supporting the creation of bike buses across Adelaide primary schools - helping more children ride safely, confidently, and joyfully to school together.

Whether you’re already part of the movement or simply curious about how active transport can make our city healthier, fairer, and more climate-friendly, this event is for you.

Come along to:

• Enjoy an uplifting and thought-provoking film

• Meet others passionate about bikes, community and climate action

• Learn more about bike buses and how to get involved

• Help grow the movement for safer streets for kids in Adelaide

• Check out a display of local cargo bikes being used by Adelaide families every day

• Discover Adelaide's pioneering role in longbike prototypes

• Discover how active transport can play a meaningful role in climate action and creating more liveable neighbourhoods

Bring your friends, family, and enthusiasm and be part of the momentum for change.

Doors will open at 2:00 pm

Welcome address and movie start around 2:15 pm

Movie concludes around 3:50 pm
