Ejemplo: Yes, I did. I had a bike until I was eight, but I stopped riding it when I started elementary school because I lived close to the school and usually walked with friends.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular, especially for short commutes. For example, many people cycle to work or school because it's cheaper and faster than taking the bus or subway in crowded areas.
× Yes, I had a bike before 8 years old.
✓ Yes, I had a bike until I was eight years old.
The original sentence uses an incorrect time expression 'before 8 years old.' In English we say 'when I was eight years old' or 'until I was eight.' Because the speaker refers to a point in the past, past tense is correct but the time phrase is wrong. Use 'until I was eight years old' to indicate possession up to that age or 'when I was eight years old' to indicate possession at that age. Also write numbers in words for ages in formal writing: 'eight.'
× When I entered the elementary school, I abandoned the bike.
✓ When I entered elementary school, I gave up the bike.
The verb 'abandoned' is grammatically correct but sounds unnatural for giving up a bicycle; 'gave up' or 'stopped using' is more idiomatic. Also 'the elementary school' is incorrect: we usually say 'elementary school' without 'the' for general attendance. The action refers to a past time, so past tense 'gave up' fits the context.
× Yes, I think bikes are popular on many people use bikes or instead of bus or subway.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular because many people use them instead of buses or the subway.
The original sentence has several problems: incorrect preposition 'on' and missing connector; incorrect pronoun reference and article use. Use 'because' to show reason, 'many people use them' to refer back to 'bikes,' and 'instead of buses or the subway' for correct prepositions and plural nouns. Include 'the' before 'subway' when referring to a specific transit system. This produces a clear, idiomatic sentence.
