Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

I believe bikes are not quite common in my country because public transportation and people's personal vehicles are far ahead than using bikes in my country. We're not like network.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 45.0Sugestão: Cevabınız soruya doğrudan başlıyor; ancak cümle tamamlanmamış ve “what do you call” ile “kind of” ifadeleri gereksiz duraksamalara neden oluyor. “Late learner” ifadesi burada doğal değil; bisiklete geç yaşta binmeyi öğrendiğinizi söylemek için “I learned to ride a bike quite late” kullanabilirsiniz. Cevabı tamamlamak için kısa bir neden veya örnek ekleyin ve “but” bağlacından sonra düşüncenizi mutlaka bitirin.
Exemplo: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but I learned to ride it quite late. I was slower than most of my friends, so I didn’t use it very often at first. However, I eventually became confident and enjoyed riding it around my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Ana fikriniz anlaşılabilir; fakat “far ahead than using bikes” dilbilgisi açısından yanlıştır ve “public transportation and people’s personal vehicles” karşılaştırması daha doğal kurulmalıdır. Aynı ifadeyi iki kez tekrarlamak yerine “more popular than cycling” kullanın. “We’re not like network” ifadesi anlaşılmıyor; muhtemelen bisiklet yollarının yetersiz olduğunu söylemek istiyorsunuz. Cevabı daha etkili yapmak için toplu taşıma, özel araçlar ve bisiklet yolları hakkında net bir neden verin.
Exemplo: I don’t think bikes are very popular in my country because public transportation and private cars are much more widely used. In addition, many cities don’t have a well-developed network of cycle lanes, so cycling can be unsafe. However, bikes are becoming more common among young people and environmentally conscious commuters.
× Yes, I had a bike when I was a child but I was kind of what do you call a late learner I was kind of behind all of my
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, but I was, how should I put it, a late learner. I was kind of behind all of my peers.
The original answer contains several ideas joined together without proper punctuation or complete sentence structure. The phrase behind all of my is incomplete because it needs a noun, such as peers. Separate the ideas into complete sentences and use peers to clarify the comparison.
× I believe bikes are not quite common in my country because public transportation and people's personal vehicles are far ahead than using bikes in my country.
✓ I believe bikes are not very common in my country because public transportation and people's personal vehicles are much more common than bikes.
The original comparison is not grammatically parallel: public transportation and personal vehicles are compared with using bikes. Compare equivalent things by using bikes and bikes, or more naturally, compare the frequency of personal vehicles with the frequency of bikes. Also, much more common than is the appropriate comparative structure.
× We're not like network.
✓ We do not have a well-developed bike network.
The phrase We're not like network is incomplete and does not express the intended meaning clearly. To talk about the availability of cycling infrastructure, use the complete structure do not have + noun phrase. Add a bike network and describe it with an adjective such as well-developed.
