Thank you for replying Philip.

3. I am on a small lane. My friend asking me to go inside. I replied, I can't go more inside than this.

Thank you.

#3 now makes some sense in that very restricted context, though I think 'in' is more likely than 'inside', and 'move in' is even more likely.
#4 makes no sense at all to me.

Thank you for replying fivejedjon.

4. My friend was sitting and asked me. Where is Jhon? I replied, He is your behind. Now is usage of behind correct?

Thank you.

Your behind implies the rear-end of a person, the ****, so to speak. You want the preposition: He is behind you.

3) If you are biking on a small lane, then say, "I can't get any closer to the curb (edge) than this.

4) A backside in American English is a derriere. I don't think you mean to insult your friend that way.

Say: he is riding beside me. He is riding behind me. .

2. What is the meter reading of your bike?

'Meter' is not a natural term here.
odometer tells how far you have ridden
speedometer tells your current speed
