✓ I think bikes were popular in my country in the past and are popular now.
The original sentence has two problems: a singular/plural mismatch and inconsistent tense. 'bike are' is incorrect because the noun should be plural to match the plural verb form, so use 'bikes are'. However, the sentence refers to both past and present, so use the past tense for the past period and present tense for now: 'were popular in my country in the past and are popular now'. Suggestion: make the noun plural when using a plural verb and match verb tenses to the time references ('were' for past, 'are' for present).
