In the last few years, companies like oBike have begun flooding streets in places like Japan and Australia with bikes. Businessman Mike Than Tun Win realized these bikes could do much good for schoolchildren in Myanmar,of whom some walk an hour or more every day to school. Then he created LessWalk which buys up the bikes from other countries.
LessWalk modifies］改装）bikes to make them more useful for students. The rental bikes used to require a smartphone app to unlock them. LessWalk changed this for a lock with a key. They also added a second seat in the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride to school on one bike. Recently they're replacing the bike's regular tires with a solid tire that can't go flat. With all the changes , each bike packed attractively costs LessWalk about $35. '' Despite the cost, the benefits it can develop are well worth trying,"Than told TechCrunch.
The project bought thousands of rental bikes from failed companies and shipped them to Myanmar. The process wasn't as easy as it sounds——there was lots of paperwork concerned in moving the bikes from one country to another. But giving out the bikes takes a little longer given that LessWalk wants to make sure that the bikes go ^bH'ree, to the students who need them the most and Myanmar has a population of over 50 million people and more than nine million students. The project is working with Myanmar's government and school systems to focus on poor students walking long distances a day to school.
Than hopes to bring in as many as 100,000 bikes and expand the program to other countries like Laos and Cambodia. Than is also hopeful that he can inspire '' global friends" to follow him to put the abandoned bikes to work, instead of creating yet more urban waste.
