× When I was a child I often rode my bike when it is weekend and I love to ride Rd. my bike with my mother and father.
✓ When I was a child, I often rode my bike on weekends and I loved to ride my bike with my mother and father.
This sentence mixes past and present tenses and has incorrect preposition and capitalization. 'When I was a child' sets the time in the past, so verbs should be past tense: change 'love' to 'loved'. Use the correct preposition 'on weekends' rather than 'when it is weekend'. Also remove the stray 'Rd.' and ensure proper commas and spacing. Suggestion: Maintain consistent past tense for past-time descriptions and use 'on' with 'weekends'.

✓ When I was a child, I often rode my bike on weekends and I loved to ride my bike with my mother and father.
The phrase 'when it is weekend' is not idiomatic; use the preposition 'on' with plural 'weekends' for habitual actions: 'on weekends'. Also remove incorrect 'Rd.' which appears to be a typo. Ensure consistency of tense as noted.

The original is mostly correct but needs a comma placement for clarity: place commas around 'in general'. The tense 'think' and 'are' and 'love' appropriately express present general truth, so keep present tense. Suggestion: Use commas for parenthetical phrases: 'I think, in general, ...'.
