Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

× To be honest, I usually have a bike when I wear a shine because since I was a young until now a day I'm the person will study in boarding school.
✓ To be honest, I usually had a bike when I was young, but since I have been studying in boarding school until now, I do not have one.
The original mixes present and past tenses incorrectly and uses awkward wording. 'Usually have' should be past 'usually had' to match 'when I was young'. 'Since I was a young until now a day' is ungrammatical; use 'since I have been studying in boarding school' to indicate an action that started in the past and continues. Also change 'I'm the person will study in boarding school' to 'I have been studying in boarding school' for correct tense and clarity. Suggestions: maintain consistent tense, use 'had' for past habitual actions and 'have been + -ing' for actions continuing to present.
× So they don't allow us to buy the motorcycle, we just only bite the bicycle.
✓ They don't allow us to have motorcycles, so we only ride bicycles.
Problems: incorrect pronoun/verb choice and word order. 'buy the motorcycle' is odd and 'bite the bicycle' is incorrect word choice ('bite' should be 'ride'). 'Just only' is redundant; use 'only'. Also plural 'motorcycles' fits general rule. Suggest using 'have' or 'own' motorcycles and 'ride bicycles' for correct collocations.
× In my estimation, I think that many people are used by cycle and motorcycle in my country and my country is like the always have the challenge about motorcycles, something like that.
✓ In my opinion, many people use bicycles and motorcycles in my country, and my country always has problems related to motorcycles.
Mixed and incorrect verb forms: 'are used by cycle and motorcycle' is wrong; correct is 'use bicycles and motorcycles'. 'Is like the always have the challenge' mixes structures; use 'always has problems related to motorcycles'. Also 'In my estimation, I think that' is redundant; prefer 'In my opinion'. Maintain simple present to describe general facts.
× So for me, I think it is very popular.
✓ So, in my view, they are very popular.
Pronoun reference and tense: 'it' is vague when referring to bikes and motorcycles (plural), so use 'they'. The simple present 'are' is appropriate for general statements. 'In my view' or 'I think' is stylistic; avoid repeating 'I think' if already used.
