The athletic Dior Cheng Yi Kin in the film BREAK UP 100 (FUN SAU 100 CHI) again connected with a "bicycle". In the film he not only performed a wheelie but also a bicycle sports car race that director Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui specifically arranged for Ekin to show off. Ekin while on a bike fought for the uphill road with a sports car, even pointed and taunted. The sports car female driver got mad and cut him off, leaving Ekin in the dust.

During this shoot, Ekin was in full cyclist gear. Early in the morning he was already in the Peak's mansion district to test his mark, going up and down the hill a dozen or so times. He rode while he acted, often with the coordination of bus and car drivers on the way. They were all very courteous. During the period some bus passengers even recognized Ekin, immediately raised their phones to take photos and missed their stops in doing so. Ekin said, "Actually I have rarely ridden bicycles in Hong Kong in recent years because of all the legal restrictions. Sometimes some signs stipulate that riding a bicycle in certain places would lead to a fine, but I know that many avid cyclists still love to ride in Hong Kong." In this scene he got mad on the bike. In real life, although he has not ridden on the road he often drove. He realized that Hong Kong roads would very easily drive people to road rage, including cyclists, drivers and pedestrians. Perhaps Hong Kong has too many people and is too crowded.

Even with his good temper Ekin almost got into an argument with another driver. He said, "Many people don't follow the laws, for example a two lane merge requires mutual yielding, but sometimes when I see some people don't do it, I would be very mad. The most explosive time was 20 years ago. I just got into the business at the time. A driver almost drove my car to the curb, luckily I was able to dodge it. At the time I immediately got out of the car to argue, but he apologized right away. Everything ended peacefully." Ekin also has been hit from behind. A young couple hit his car. He saw how frightened they were and did not have the heart to blame them. In the end he just let them go. When he let, the girl knocked on his window and gave him a card. She said that she worked at the karaoke box and asked him to go there when he had time.
