× No, I didn't have a bike when I when I was a child.
✓ No, I didn't have a bike when I was a child.
The sentence contains a repeated phrase 'when I' causing redundancy and a sentence structure error. Remove the repeated words so the clause reads once. Use: 'when I was a child.'
× This is because my parents never bought for me a bike.
✓ This is because my parents never bought me a bike.
In English, the verb 'buy' with an indirect object does not require the preposition 'for' when the indirect object (me) directly follows the verb. Using 'bought for me a bike' is nonstandard. Use 'bought me a bike' or 'bought a bike for me.'
× Also additionally, I don't know how to ride a bike.
✓ Also, I didn't know how to ride a bike.
The context is past (childhood), so the present tense 'don't know' is inconsistent. Use past tense 'didn't know' to match 'when I was a child.' Also 'also additionally' is redundant; keep a single connector like 'Also.'
× I'm very scared to ride a bike because once I fell off the bike.
✓ I was very scared to ride a bike because I once fell off a bike.
Maintain past tense for childhood context: 'was' instead of 'I'm.' Place 'once' before the verb phrase and avoid repeating 'the bike' unnecessarily; 'a bike' is sufficient. This fixes tense consistency and awkward word order.
× Many people go to their workplaces by bikes.
✓ Many people go to their workplaces by bike.
When describing a mode of transport generally, English uses the singular uncountable form 'by bike' (not 'by bikes'). Keep 'workplaces' plural is fine to match 'many people.'
× Also, bikes are very accessible in my country.
✓ Also, bikes are very accessible in my country.
Sentence is grammatical; no change needed. (Included to show no pronoun error.)
× They can use it in many many circumstances.
✓ They can use them in many circumstances.
The pronoun 'it' is incorrect for plural 'bikes'; use 'them.' Also avoid repeating 'many'; use 'many circumstances.' Alternatively 'in many situations.'
× It is very easy to ride a bike and go from.
✓ It is very easy to ride a bike and get around.
The phrase 'go from' is incomplete and unclear. Replace with a natural expression like 'get around' to convey moving between places. Maintain general present tense as statement about bikes in the country.
