The sentence mixes present tense ('don't have') with a past time reference ('when I was a child'). Use the past simple 'didn't have' to match the past time frame. Suggestion: Use consistent past tense for events in the past: 'I didn't have a bike when I was a child.'
× Yes, bikes are really very popular in my country because most of the youngster use bikes for their daily routine.
✓ Yes, bikes are very popular in my country because most of the youngsters use bikes for their daily routines.
There are multiple problems: 'youngster' should be plural 'youngsters' to match 'most of the', which requires a plural noun (singular/plural issue). Also 'daily routine' is better as plural 'daily routines' to indicate each person's routine. Suggestion: Use plural nouns with 'most of the' and match noun number with context: 'most of the youngsters use bikes for their daily routines.'
