✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and actually everyone in my family had a bike.
The sentence uses an unnecessary auxiliary 'did' with the affirmative past tense; in affirmative past statements use simple past ('I had') not 'I did have' unless for emphasis. Also there is an accidental repetition 'had a π had a' and an unexpected character. Suggest removing the extra auxiliary and the duplicate fragment to make a clear past-tense statement. Use commas to join clauses cleanly.'
× I think bikes were popular before I was born, but when uh, I was a child, usually people go to work or to school by bus or public transportation.
✓ I think bikes were popular before I was born, but when I was a child, people usually went to work or to school by bus or other public transportation.
This sentence mixes past and present tenses and has an incorrect verb form for the time frame. The speaker refers to 'when I was a child' (past), so the habitual action should use past simple 'went' rather than present 'go'. Also adverb order: 'people usually went' is more natural than 'usually people go'. Replace 'public transportation' with 'other public transportation' or keep 'public transportation' — here 'other' clarifies alternatives. Remove filler 'uh' in formal correction. Ensure tense consistency throughout the sentence.'
