Example: Yes, bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students, because they are cheap and convenient. For example, when I was in high school I used to cycle to school with several classmates every morning to save time and avoid crowded buses.

✓ My father taught me how to ride a bike when I was a child.
The sentence repeats 'when I was a', creating redundancy and an incorrect structure. Remove the extra words so it reads smoothly. Use simple past 'taught' (correct) and keep the time phrase once: 'when I was a child'. Suggestion: Proofread for accidental repetition and read the sentence aloud to catch duplicates.
× Yes, I think bike is quite popular in my country, especially among students and I usually ride bikes to my high school when I was a student.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students, and I usually rode bikes to my high school when I was a student.
The noun 'bike' should be plural ('bikes') to match the general statement about popularity. Also the clause 'I usually ride bikes to my high school when I was a student' mixes present tense 'ride' with past time 'when I was a student'; change to past tense 'rode' to keep tense consistent. Suggestion: Match noun number for general statements and keep verb tense consistent with the time reference.
× I usually ride in bikes with my with my classmates in the morning.
✓ I usually ride bikes with my classmates in the morning.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect when talking about riding a bike; English uses no preposition or 'on' in some contexts ('ride a bike' or 'ride on a bike'), but the natural phrasing here is 'ride bikes'. The sentence also repeats 'with my'. Remove the extra preposition and repeated words. Suggestion: Use 'ride bikes' or 'ride a bike' and avoid unnecessary prepositions; proofread to remove duplicated phrases.
