× Yes, I have a bike because I like to ride a bike from my childhood.
✓ Yes, I had a bike because I liked to ride a bike when I was a child.
The question asks about the past (when you were a child), so past tense should be used. Using present tense 'have' and 'like' is inconsistent. Change 'have' to 'had' and 'like' to 'liked'. Also 'from my childhood' is awkward; use 'when I was a child'. Suggestion: Use past simple for habitual past actions: 'I had a bike because I liked to ride it when I was a child.'
× So I have a bike when I was youngerself.
✓ So I had a bike when I was younger.
Mixing present 'have' with past time expression 'when I was' is incorrect. Use past 'had'. 'Youngerself' is not a word; use 'younger' or 'younger self'. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent and use correct word forms: 'So I had a bike when I was younger.'
× It was given by me it was given to me by my father I already
✓ It was given to me by my father.
The sentence contains redundant and incorrect pronoun usage: 'given by me' is wrong because the subject should be the giver ('my father'), and 'given to me' is the correct passive form. The phrase 'I already' is incomplete and unnecessary. Suggestion: Use one clear passive clause: 'It was given to me by my father.'
× So there bike riding is common common there.
✓ So bike riding is very common there.
The phrase 'there bike riding' lacks a determiner and has incorrect word order. Repeating 'common' is redundant. Use 'bike riding' as the subject, add 'very' for emphasis if needed, and place 'there' at the end. Suggestion: 'Bike riding is common there.' or 'Bike riding is very common there.'
× People use as their cheapest transportation as the bike.
✓ People use bikes as their cheapest form of transportation.
Word order and articles are incorrect. 'Use as' is awkward; the object should be 'bikes' (plural) and 'form of transportation' is the correct noun phrase. Remove the redundant 'the' before 'bike'. Suggestion: 'People use bikes as their cheapest form of transportation.'
× So every people in every home we can see the bike.
✓ So we can see a bike in almost every household.
'Every people' is incorrect—'people' is plural; use 'every person' or restructure. 'Every home' is okay but 'household' is more natural. Word order is awkward; place subject before 'we can see'. Suggestion: 'We can see a bike in almost every household.' or 'There is a bike in almost every home.'
× So people mostly use the bike to travel in the short distance.
✓ So people mostly use bikes to travel short distances.
'The bike' should be general plural 'bikes'. 'Travel in the short distance' is unidiomatic; use 'travel short distances'. Suggestion: 'People mostly use bikes to travel short distances.'
