× I had to buy When you when I was a child because my home was very near my school, so I often rode it to school.
✓ I had a bike when I was a child because my home was very near my school, so I often rode it to school.
The original sentence contains incorrect words and capitalization ('had to buy When you when') that do not fit past tense narrative and disrupt meaning. Correcting to 'I had a bike when I was a child' maintains the simple past tense appropriate for describing past facts. Suggestion: remove extraneous words, use simple past verbs consistently (had, was, rode).
× It's very convenient and fun, and I remember raising my friends on the way.
✓ It was very convenient and fun, and I remember meeting my friends on the way.
The sentence mixes present tense 'It's' with past context; also 'raising my friends' is incorrect verb choice—likely meant 'meeting'. Use past tense 'It was' to match the past time frame and replace 'raising' with 'meeting' (correct verb) or 'seeing'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and choose verbs that match intended meaning.
× Well, I think bizarre become more popular in my country because they are cheap and easy to commute to work or school.
✓ Well, I think bikes have become more popular in my country because they are cheap and make it easy to commute to work or school.
Errors: 'bizarre' is wrong word (should be 'bikes'); 'become' should be present perfect 'have become' to indicate a change up to now; 'easy to commute' is ungrammatical—use 'make it easy to commute' or 'are convenient for commuting'. Suggestion: use correct noun, appropriate tense (present perfect) for recent trend, and proper verb pattern for 'make it easy'.
× For example, many students and shopkeepers ride bikes to school and supermarket.
✓ For example, many students and shopkeepers ride bikes to school and to the supermarket.
Minor preposition and article issues: include 'to the supermarket' for natural English and add 'to' before 'the supermarket' for parallel structure. Tense 'ride' (simple present) is appropriate for habitual actions. Suggestion: use parallel 'to school and to the supermarket' and include articles where required.
