This passage has multiple sentence structure problems: repeated fragments ('I I wish I had'), redundant phrases ('seems like it seems', 'according to me, but I don't have'), and inconsistent tense. Combine and reorder ideas to make clear sentences, remove duplicates, and keep tense consistent with the past context. Suggestion: remove repeated words, use past tense for the mother's opinion ('thought a bicycle was very dangerous'), and express the speaker's feeling in past tense ('It seemed pretty fun to me').
× But my mother always refused to give me a bicycle because she thought bicycle is very dangerous.
✓ But my mother always refused to give me a bicycle because she thought a bicycle was very dangerous.
The noun 'bicycle' here needs the indefinite article 'a' when speaking generally and countably. Also maintain past tense for 'thought' by using 'was' instead of 'is'. Suggestion: use 'a bicycle' and match tense: 'thought a bicycle was very dangerous'.
× But it seems like it seems pretty fun to me according to me, but I don't have.
✓ It seemed pretty fun to me, but I didn't have one.
The context is past (childhood), so present tense 'seems' and 'don't have' are inconsistent. Use past tense 'seemed' and 'didn't have'. Also remove redundant phrases ('it seems like', 'according to me') and add 'one' to refer back to 'bike'. Suggestion: simplify to 'It seemed pretty fun to me, but I didn't have one.'
× Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country and I see everywhere bike in a road.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country and I see bikes everywhere on the road.
'Bike' is a countable noun and should be plural when referring to many units: 'see bikes everywhere'. Also preposition and word order: use 'on the road' rather than 'in a road'. Suggestion: say 'I see bikes everywhere on the road.'
× Also it bike are used for transport, yes I think.
✓ Also, bikes are used for transport, yes, I think so.
Pronoun and subject errors: 'it bike are' mixes singular pronoun with plural noun and has wrong verb form. Use plural subject 'bikes' with plural verb 'are'. Add 'so' after 'I think' for naturalness. Suggestion: 'Bikes are used for transport.'
