This sentence has run-on and redundant elements and a wrong article use before 'everything' ('the everything' is incorrect). Break into shorter sentences and remove the unnecessary article. Use commas to separate clauses and a period to avoid a run-on. Suggestion: split complex ideas into two sentences and remove filler words like 'umm.' Grammar problem type's ID:26
× ...the everything was within walking distance...
✓ Everything was within walking distance.
'Everything' is an uncountable pronoun that does not take the definite article 'the' here. Using 'the' makes the phrase incorrect. Remove 'the' to be grammatically correct. Grammar problem type's ID:17

This sentence contains disfluent speech markers ('uh and'), redundancy ('the public transport' and 'can be sometimes unreliable'), and a repeated word 'such an such a.' Remove filler words, correct word order, remove unnecessary articles, and eliminate repeated words. Also place 'sometimes' in its usual position after the auxiliary verb 'can.' These changes improve clarity and grammaticality. Grammar problem type's ID:26
× ...and the public transport can be sometimes unreliable...
✓ ...and public transport can sometimes be unreliable...
'Public transport' is an uncountable noun phrase used in a general sense and usually does not need the definite article 'the.' Also, place 'sometimes' after the auxiliary 'can' for natural word order. Grammar problem type's ID:17
× ...so cycling isn't such an such a popular option for everyday travel.
✓ ...so cycling isn't such a popular option for everyday travel.
There is a repeated and incorrect phrase 'such an such a.' Use a single 'such a' before a count noun or simply 'such' plus adjective; here 'such a popular option' is correct. Remove the duplicated words to fix the adjective phrase.
