Description
Emily Chappell's life took an unexpected turn when she became a cycle courier. She had planned to use her job as a temporary stopgap, but six years on, it remains her career and has shaped her life in profound ways.
The story of her time on the roads is one of pain and pleasure, both physical and mental. Chappell records the highs and lows of her job, from the thrill of navigating busy streets to the exhaustion that comes with it. She also explores the connections she's made along the way - with the people she meets, the city itself, and the sense of belonging that has developed.
This is a book about discovery, memory, and the joy of taking life's uncharted course. It's a personal and introspective account that invites readers to join Chappell on her journey through the streets of London.
