The original contains tense and redundancy problems and unclear fragments. 'Now' and 'nowadays' require present simple for general truths ('are popular', 'can afford'). Remove repeated phrases ('can afford a can afford') and unclear fragments ('we went a foot, a bike and, and a bike is'). Provide a clear, complete sentence structure: subject + verb + object. Suggestion: speak in complete sentences, avoid repetition, and use present simple for general facts.
