提案: Give a slightly longer, more specific response (1–3 sentences) with a clear topic sentence and one supporting detail. Use a linking word if you add an extra detail. Avoid very short answers that lack detail.

The definite article 'the' is unnecessary before the plural noun 'bikes' when speaking about bikes in general. In English, we omit articles with plural countable nouns to refer to a general class (e.g., 'Dogs are friendly', not 'The dogs are friendly' when speaking generally). Suggestion: remove 'the' when referring to bikes in general.
