Multiple errors combined: plural/singular and subject-verb agreement ('bike is' should be 'bikes are' because general statement about bikes uses plural) [IDs 1 and 27], redundant conjunctions ('but however' is incorrect; use either 'but' or 'however') [ID 16], incorrect verb forms ('learn how drive in on the bike' is ungrammatical; correct structure is 'learn how to ride a bike') [IDs 8 and 9], incorrect use of present perfect negative form ('I'm never been learning the this' is wrong; intended meaning is past simple passive/ability — correct is 'I never learned') [IDs 5 and 23]. Suggestion: Break the long sentence into clearer clauses, use plural for general statements, use 'learn how to ride' for acquiring the skill, and use simple past 'I never learned' to match 'back then'.
