× So I didn't have my personal bike, but I use my dad's bike for the further years.
✓ So I didn't have my own bike, but I used my dad's bike for the following years.
The sentence mixes past and present tenses. The context is about childhood (past), so both verbs should be in the past tense. 'Use' should be 'used'. 'Personal bike' is unnatural here; 'own bike' is better. 'Further years' is incorrect collocation; 'following years' or 'for several years' is correct.
× Yes, I do think that bikes are popular in my country because uh, it helps and many things like a simple works to go to schools, to bring some vegetables from the market and many more.
✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country because they help with many simple tasks, such as going to school, bringing vegetables from the market, and more.
Several tense and agreement issues: 'I do think' is acceptable but can be simplified to 'I think'. The plural subject 'bikes' requires the plural pronoun 'they' rather than 'it'. 'Helps and many things' is ungrammatical; use 'help with many simple tasks'. 'a simple works' mixes article and plural; use 'simple tasks' and provide examples with 'such as' and parallel infinitive phrases 'going to school, bringing vegetables'. Removed filler 'uh' and 'many more' replaced with 'and more' for clarity.
