× Some people use it to go to work and some people use it for hobbies like joining triathlons and biking race.
✓ Some people use them to go to work and some people use them for hobbies like joining triathlons and bike races.
The sentence has singular/plural mismatches. 'Some people' is plural, so the pronoun referring to 'bikes' should be 'them' not 'it' (Grammar Problem Type 1). Also 'biking race' is incorrect: use the plural noun 'bike races' to match the generic plural idea of races. Suggestion: keep plural agreement by using 'them' for bikes and plural nouns for countable activities (e.g., 'bike races').
