Pedal is a fast-paced documentary film about surviving in the streets of New York City as a bicycle messenger. It features messengers from all walks of life as they battle traffic in a race to make their next delivery on time. Directed by Sutherland and produced by Ana Lombardo, Pedal the documentary lets viewers live the spectacle of the delivery itself. It premiered in 2001 at the South by Southwest film festival, and was later acquired by the Sundance channel, where it aired until 2004.

Bursting with banging tunes, illuminating and often hilarious interviews, stunning breaking, graffiti pieces and live performances, the film charts the arrival of hip hop in the UK in the 1980s, the formation of home-grown Britcore crews and their success in Europe but invisibility in the UK, the dark days of rave when UK hip hop was a pariah, up to recent years where it has found a distinct English accent and bounded out of the U.S. shadow.
