"With My Own Two Wheels" is about the two-wheeled experiences of five disparate individuals representing five corners of the globe: Fred, a health worker in Zambia; Bharati, a teenager in India; Mirriam, a disabled woman in Ghana; Carlos, a Guatemalan farmer; and Sharkey, a young Californian for whom the bicycle is a means to sidestep the gang mindset adopted by too many of his peers. According to an advance release, the film "weaves together the experiences of these five individuals into a single story about how the bicycle can change the world - one pedal stroke at a time." This film presentation is brought to you by the Outdoor Program and Adventure Cycling Association.
