× my parents give me it to my birthday
✓ my parents gave it to me for my birthday
The sentence uses the present tense verb 'give' but the context is past. Use the past tense 'gave'. Also, object pronoun order in English is 'gave it to me', and the preposition for occasions is 'for' (for my birthday). Suggestion: use correct past tense and word order: 'my parents gave it to me for my birthday.'
× but I used to move it, uh, usually on the city center
✓ but I used to ride it, usually in the city center
The verb 'move' is not appropriate for bicycles; the correct verb is 'ride'. 'Used to' expresses past habitual action and should be followed by the base form 'ride'. Also, the preposition is 'in' the city center, not 'on'. Suggestion: replace 'move' with 'ride' and use 'in the city center.'
× many use them to transportation
✓ many use them for transportation
The preposition 'for' is used to indicate purpose ('for transportation'). 'To' is not correct before the noun 'transportation.' Suggestion: use 'for transportation.'
× Umm also other rides bikes to relax or to hang out with friends at weekends
✓ Also, others ride bikes to relax or to hang out with friends on weekends
The original has incorrect word order and forms: 'other rides' is ungrammatical; use 'others ride' (subject 'others' + verb 'ride'). 'At weekends' is acceptable in British English but 'on weekends' is more common in general American/neutral English. Remove filler 'Umm' in written form. Suggestion: restructure to 'Also, others ride bikes to relax or to hang out with friends on weekends.'
