What Goes Around

A London Cycle Courier's Story

Beschreibung

At twenty-five, Emily Chappell took up cycle couriering while she searched for a 'real job'. As she flies through the streets of London, dancing with the traffic, Chappell records the pains and pleasures of life on wheels: the dangerous missions; the moments of fear and freedom, and ultimately the simple joy of pedalling onward.
