Katrina is an adventure athlete who craves the wild; her husband, Mike, watches sports with his buddies. Like many couples, after 11 years in a relationship they’ve grown apart and have become mere acquaintances, as opposed to husband and wife. When they hit rock bottom, they realize it’s time for a change, and they make the dramatic decision to travel the world by bike.
The couple ride through barren landscapes, scorching fires and humid jungles. From backcountry roads in New Zealand, sharing a picnic with a man and his multiple wives in Malaysia or camping at an orphanage in Cambodia, at every turn, they are touched by locals who feed them stories and laughter. Together, they repair 54 flat tires, navigate heat exhaustion in Vietnam, altitude sickness in Tibet and two robberies before they face the last hard climb to the world’s tallest mountain.
With You By Bike is honest and raw, describing Katrina’s search for forgiveness, acceptance and change. It’s about rediscovering choice from the seat of a bicycle, exploring the world and finding love by veering off the beaten path.
