× Yes, I had a bike when I was a child child because my home was very near my school, so I often routed the school. It's very convenient and fun and I remember raising my friends on the way home.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child because my home was very near my school, so I often rode to school. It was very convenient and fun, and I remember riding with my friends on the way home.
The original contains repetition ('child child') and several sentence structure and verb choice errors. 'Routed the school' is incorrect; the correct past tense verb is 'rode' and the preposition is 'to' (rode to school). 'It's very convenient and fun' should match past context, so use 'It was'. 'Raising my friends' is wrong verb choice; the correct verb is 'riding with my friends'. Suggestion: remove duplicate words, use past tense consistently for past events, use correct verb collocations ('ride/rode to school', 'ride with friends').
× Well, I think by the popular in my country because they are cheap and easy to commute to work or school.
✓ Well, I think bikes are popular in my country because they are cheap and make it easy to commute to work or school.
The phrase 'by the popular' is ungrammatical; the correct structure is 'are popular'. Also 'easy to commute' needs a subject that benefits from the adjective, so use 'make it easy to commute' or 'are an easy way to commute'. Suggestion: use correct verb 'are' with adjective 'popular' and a clear construction like 'make it easy to...'.
× For example, many students and shopkeepers ride bikes to school and are smoking.
✓ For example, many students and shopkeepers ride bikes to school and to work, and some smoke.
The original sentence incorrectly attaches 'are smoking' to 'shopkeepers' and seems to mix ideas. 'Ride bikes to school and are smoking' is ungrammatical. Clarify by separating activities: 'ride bikes to school and to work' and if mentioning smoking, use 'and some smoke'. Suggestion: keep parallel structures and separate unrelated actions into clear clauses.
× Innocent people also cycle for exercise.
✓ Many ordinary people also cycle for exercise.
'Innocent people' is an odd adjective choice here; likely intended meaning is 'ordinary' or 'regular' people. Use 'many ordinary people' or 'many people' for natural English. Suggestion: choose appropriate adjective to match intended meaning.
