The pronoun 'it' is incorrect because its antecedent 'bikes' is plural, so the plural pronoun 'them' must be used (Third person singular issue ID applied to pronoun agreement). Also 'gasolines' is an incorrect plural; 'gasoline' is an uncountable noun and should be singular. Suggestion: match pronouns to the number of their antecedents and use uncountable nouns in their standard form ('gasoline' or 'fuel').
