× There's the elderly neighbor in our village that renting their bikes for the kids so I've always asked my brother to teach me to Rd. it so then I can balance my I can practice my balance. But then again I it's not worth it for me.
✓ The elderly neighbor in our village rents bikes to the kids, so I always asked my brother to teach me to ride it so I could practice my balance. But then again, it wasn't worth it for me.
The sentence has several pronoun and verb form issues. 'There's the elderly neighbor' is unnecessary and awkward; use 'The elderly neighbor'. 'That renting their bikes' mixes relative clause and verb forms; use 'rents' because neighbor is singular (subject-verb agreement). 'Their' is vague for a singular neighbor; use no possessive or use 'his/her' if needed, but changing the verb removes the need. 'I've always asked' conflicts with past context; 'I always asked' or 'I asked' fits past narrative; here 'asked my brother to teach me to ride it' corrects 'Rd. it'. 'So then I can balance my I can practice my balance' is repetitive and has tense mismatch; use 'so I could practice my balance'. 'I it's not worth it for me' mixes pronouns and contractions incorrectly; 'it wasn't worth it for me' matches past tense. Suggestions: keep consistent past tense for childhood actions, ensure subject-verb agreement for singular subjects, use clear pronouns (or repeat the noun) and avoid repetition.'
× Yes, it is. There's a lot of kids that buy in bikes so they can transport from house to school and sometimes the adults also using it for travelling to work also it can eliminate traffic in our cities.
✓ Yes, they are. There are a lot of kids who buy bikes so they can travel from home to school, and sometimes adults also use them for travelling to work; this can help reduce traffic in our cities.
Multiple agreement and word-choice errors: 'Yes, it is' should agree with plural 'bikes' so 'Yes, they are'. 'There's a lot of kids' uses 'there's' with plural noun; use 'There are a lot of kids'. 'Kids that buy in bikes' is incorrect word order and preposition; use 'kids who buy bikes'. 'Transport from house to school' is incorrect verb choice and preposition; use 'travel from home to school'. 'The adults also using it' lacks correct verb form and agreement; use 'adults also use them' to match plural 'bikes'. 'Also it can eliminate traffic' is awkward; 'this can help reduce traffic' is clearer. Suggestions: match singular/plural for subjects and verbs, use appropriate relative pronouns (who for people), and choose correct verbs and prepositions for movement.'
