Cyclogeography is about the bicycle in the cultural imagination and
also a portrait of London as seen from the saddle. In the great
tradition of the psychogeographers, Jon Day attempts to depart from the
map and reclaim the streets of the city. Informed by several grinding
years spent as a bicycle courier, he lifts the lid on the solitary life
of the courier. Traveling the unmapped byways, shortcuts, and urban
edgelands, couriers are the declining, invisible workforce of the city.
The parcels they deliver keep things running. For those who survive the
crushing toughness of the job, the bicycle can become what holds them
together.
