The sentence has two issues relevant to the provided list: '5 year old' needs plural 'years' and an article/connector 'that' improves clarity. According to 'Present tense issue' the use of 'do remember' is acceptable as present simple emphasis, but the number agreement for the age is a singular/plural problem; however we correct it here to '5 years old'. Also adding 'that' clarifies the subordinate clause. Suggestion: use 'years' for ages greater than one and include 'that' before a content clause for clarity.
× Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because there are lot of narrow roads throughout the city and bike are the most convenient source of transportation.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because there are a lot of narrow roads throughout the city and bikes are the most convenient means of transportation.
There are pluralization and determiner issues: 'there are lot of' requires the determiner 'a' -> 'there are a lot of'. Also 'bike are' is subject-verb and number disagreement; 'bike' should be plural 'bikes' to match 'are'. Finally, 'source of transportation' is better expressed as the plural noun 'means of transportation' when referring generally. Suggestion: use 'a lot of' with plural noun, ensure subject and verb agree in number, and prefer 'means of transportation' for general statements.
