Replace unnatural phrases such as “very beautiful 1,” “have fun over on it,” and “spend a lot quality” with natural expressions like “it was beautiful,” “have a lot of fun riding it,” and “spend a lot of time together.” Avoid repeating “I had” and use a linking word such as “For example” to introduce a clear memory. Keep the answer to three or four coherent sentences.

× I had a lot of fun over on it.

The preposition over is not appropriate here. Use on when referring to an activity done while riding or sitting on a bike.
× I remember we used to spend a lot quality.
✓ I remember we used to spend a lot of quality time.
The quantifier a lot must be followed by of before a noun. Also, spend quality time is the correct expression for describing time spent enjoyably.
× Especially in the in the city and urban area where they can use it to save to replace the cars and save petrol.
✓ Especially in the city and urban area, where they can use it to save to replace the cars and save petrol.
The phrase in the is repeated. Remove the duplicate words so that the prepositional phrase begins with especially in the city.
× Where they can use it to save to replace the cars and save petrol.
✓ Where they can use them to save to replace the cars and save petrol.
The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to bikes, which is plural. Therefore, use the plural pronoun them.

✓ Where they can use them to replace cars and save petrol.
The sequence save to replace is incorrectly structured. Use the infinitive to replace followed by the coordinated verb save: to replace cars and save petrol.
