Nadiah Abdul Aziz and her husband Ekaputra Abdul Jabar have been going on cycling trips together for the past decade or so. The pair have hit the road on their bikes all across Malaysia, as well as to international destinations like Japan, Taiwan, Spain and Thailand.

Cycling together, they say, has strengthened their bond as a couple, although going on these extended trips can be challenging and, said Nadiah, they have disagreements every single time they ride.
