× Oh, yes, I did. When I was a little girl I remembered that I used to ride my bike in the park Uh with my dad.
✓ Oh, yes, I did. When I was a little girl I remember that I used to ride my bike in the park with my dad.
The verb 'remembered' is past tense which conflicts with 'used to' a habitual past expression; using simple present 'remember' is more natural when stating a current memory about past habitual actions. Use 'remember' to express a present recollection about past events. Also remove filler 'Uh' for clarity.
× I also remember that I often fell off the bike when I tried to ride on the core bike.
✓ I also remember that I often fell off the bike when I tried to ride the new bike.
'Tried to ride on the core bike' is unclear and likely incorrect word choice. The verb tense 'fell' is correct for past habitual action, but the noun phrase is wrong. Replace 'core bike' with 'new bike' or appropriate noun. Keep 'remember' (present) + past clause 'fell'.
× Oh, definitely yes. In my city, people use bikes for short distances because they are cheaper than car, and I will try to avoid the traffic jam so cycling is a convenient way to be more fit
✓ Oh, definitely. In my city, people use bikes for short distances because they are cheaper than cars, and I try to avoid traffic jams, so cycling is a convenient way to stay fit.
Errors include 'cheaper than car' (singular mismatch) and 'the traffic jam' (unnecessary definite article) and awkward tense 'I will try to avoid' which should be general habit 'I try to avoid'. Also 'be more fit' is unnatural; use 'stay fit'. Correct quantifier/plural forms: 'cars' and 'traffic jams'. Remove redundant 'yes' after 'definitely'.
