၁၅ႏွစ္ထဲက စက္ဘီးစီးတာ။ အခုအသက္ ၆၀။ အရင္က မံု႐ြာမွာေနတာ။ ခုအင္းစိန္မွာေနတယ္။ အင္တာေန႐ွင္နယ္စကူးမွာ စာသင္ တယ္။ အင္းစိန္ကေန ေရႊေတာင္ၾကားကို စက္ဘီးနဲ႕သြားတယ္။ ခုစီးေနတဲ့စက္ ဘီးေလက အင္းစိန္မွာပဲဆင္တာ။ ကိုယ့္ဟာကုိယ္ဆင္တာ။ မစီးတတ္ခင္ကေတာ့ နည္းနည္းေတာ့ တိုက္တာေပါ့ကြာ။ အခုက

ေတာ့ ဘာမွမျဖစ္ပါဘူ။း သတိနဲ႕ထားျပီးစီး ဘာမွမျဖစ္ဘူး။ ဥပမာကြာ ခရီး တစ္ခု တစ္နာရီ နင္းရမယ္ဆိုပါစို႕။ တစ္နာရီခြဲေလာက္ နာရီ၀က္ၾကိဳျပီးထြက္ ေအးေအးေဆးေဆးပဲ။ အဲ့ဒါဆိုဘာမွမျဖစ္ေတာ့ဘူး။

ျပည္လမ္းဆို စက္ဘီးမစီးရဘူးဆိုတာ အရင္တုန္းကေတာ့ ဟုတ္တယ္ ေလ။ အခုကေတာ့ နည္းနည္း pass ေပးတယ္။ သြားလို႕လာလို႕ရတယ္။

ႏိုင္ငံျခားသားေတြလည္း စီးတာပဲ။

ေကာင္းတယ္ စက္ဘီးစီးတာေတာ့ အားေပးတယ္။ က်န္းမာေရးနဲ႕

ညီညြတ္တယ္။ ငါ အသက္ ၆၀။ ခုနင္တို႕ေလာက္ ျပိဳင္နင္းႏိုင္ေသးတယ္။ ရန္ကုန္ျမိဳ႕မွာ စက္ဘီးစီးရတာ ေကာင္းတယ္ ဖီး႐ွိတယ္။ မနက္ပိုင္းဆို ပိုျပီး ဖီး႐ွိေသးတယ္။ ေလေကာင္းေလသန္႕ေလး႐ႈရတယ္။ တို႕ကေတာ့ အသက္

ၾကီးျပီဆုိေတာ့ က်န္းမာေရးအတြက္ေပါ့ကြာ။

He bikes since he was fifteen. Now he is at his sixty. In the past, he lived at Monywa but now he lives at Insein. He is a teacher at an International school. He goes by bike from Insein to Shwe- Daung-Gya. The bike he is using now is assembled at Insein by himself.

He experienced less severe crash while he cannot operate bike very well. Now it does not happen anymore. He said only carefulness is necessary to avoid accident. He used to leave home an hour and a half in advance if the trip takes an hour. Then everything is settled in order and in ease.

It is true that biking is prohibited along Pyay Road. Anyway now it is in a flexible state. Biking is allowed there although it is not completely official. Also foreigners bike. He said he recommended biking as it is healthy. Although I am sixty, I can race bikes with you.

It is relaxing and enjoyable to bike in Yangon. It is better in the early morning. Fresh breathe can be consumed. He said he bike because it is good for his health.
