The original mixes present and past incorrectly and omits plural form for 'sports'. 'I think yes, I had a bike' is informal and inconsistent; use 'I think I did; I had a bike' or 'I think so; I had a bike' to match past-tense question. 'Do sport' is non-idiomatic in this context — use 'do sports' or 'play sports'. Remove filler words and repeated fillers for clarity. Use 'one' to avoid repetition of 'bike'.
× Yes, I believe bags are really popular in my country, especially in uh, subworms umm. Moreover, bikes are convenient is Bikes are convenient, mean of transport and, uh, it's.
✓ Yes, I believe bikes are really popular in my country, especially in suburbs. Moreover, bikes are a convenient means of transport, and they are affordable.
The original wrongly uses 'bags' instead of 'bikes' and a non-word 'subworms' likely intended as 'suburbs'; this is a lexical/pronoun/word-choice error affecting meaning. 'Bikes are convenient is Bikes are convenient' is a fragmented repetition. Use plural subject 'bikes' with plural verb 'are' and 'a convenient means of transport' for correct expression. Add a clear subject 'they' for the final clause or rephrase to avoid sentence fragments. 'Means' is singular in form but treated as a countable noun here requiring the article 'a'.
