× It was a bright red and I really loved to ride it in my neighborhood and taking some races with my friends.
✓ It was bright red and I really loved riding it in my neighborhood and taking part in races with my friends.
The original mixes verb forms incorrectly. After 'loved' use gerund (verb + -ing): 'loved riding' not 'loved to ride' (both can work, but to follow natural phrasing choose 'loved riding'). Also 'taking some races' is unidiomatic; use 'taking part in races' or 'racing with my friends'. Additionally 'a bright red' incorrectly uses article with a color adjective; say 'bright red' or 'a bright red bike'. Suggestion: use consistent gerund forms and idiomatic collocations.
× Yeah, it's definitely popular and you can see it if you come to our country in some certain places like Bulbard Park or Wella Park in Sibries and you will definitely see how the people are just riding the bike and enjoy it.
✓ Yeah, it's definitely popular and you can see that if you come to our country to certain places like Bulbard Park or Wella Park in Sibries, where people are riding bikes and enjoying themselves.
Several tense and usage problems: 'you can see it if you come' needs clearer connector 'see that'. 'in some certain places' is redundant; use 'to certain places' or 'in certain places'. 'you will definitely see how the people are just riding the bike and enjoy it' mixes forms: use a relative clause and parallel verb forms: 'where people are riding bikes and enjoying themselves.' Also use plural 'bikes' and natural pronoun 'themselves'. Suggestion: simplify and use present progressive for ongoing actions and parallel structure for verbs.
