What goes around: a London cycle courier's story

Emily Chappell was never meant to be a cycle courier.

She planned to earn her living using her mind rather than her legs.

She thought it'd be a useful stopgap while searching for a 'real' job.

Several years on, she's still pedalling. As she flies through the streets of London, dancing with the traffic, Chappell records the pain and pleasure - both mental and physical - of life on wheels: the hurtling, dangerous missions; the ebb and flow of seasonal work; the moments of fear and freedom, anger and exhaustion; the camaraderie of the courier tribe and its idiosyncratic characters.
