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.

Cyclogeography是关于文化想象中的自行车，也是从车座上看到的伦敦的画像。按照心理地理学家的伟大传统，乔恩-戴试图离开地图，重新认识城市的街道。他从作为自行车快递员的几年磨砺中得到启发，揭开了快递员的孤独生活的盖子。在没有地图的小路、捷径和城市边缘地带旅行，快递员是城市中不断减少的、看不见的劳动力。他们运送的包裹维持着一切的运转。对于那些在艰难的工作中幸存下来的人来说，自行车可以成为支撑他们的东西。
