JOHOR BARU: A shared passion for biking took two young siblings all the way to China, where they represented Malaysia in an Asian-level push-bike tournament.

Nurqiesha Az Zharyd Mohd Azhar was just six years old when she and her brother Muhammad Izhud Ar Rifqi Mohd Azhar, then four, reached the semi-finals of the Strider Asian Champion­ships in their respective age groups in Beijing in April last year.
