PEDAL

"Pedal is a high-octane slab of visual adrenaline from photographer Peter Sutherland. It documents a daredevil group of bike couriers in New York City as they weave through traffic, dodge absent-minded pedestrians, mug off coppers and avoid the wrath of bloodthirsty taxi drivers, chasing highs and delivering parcels along the way."
