× Yes, I do have a bike when I was a child and it was a rainbow colored bicycle with fluorescent details.
✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child, and it was a rainbow-colored bicycle with fluorescent details.
The sentence mixes present tense 'do have' with past time phrase 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'had' to match the time frame. Also, 'rainbow colored' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective before a noun: 'rainbow-colored.' Suggestion: use consistent past tense for past events and hyphenate compound adjectives before nouns. Grammar problem type ID: 6

Multiple errors: 'bicycle are' has plural subject/verb mismatch — use 'bicycles are' or 'cycling is'. 'much popular' is incorrect collocation; use 'very popular.' Remove extra prepositions 'in during' and wrong article 'the on the seaside' — say 'on the seaside' or 'by the seaside.' 'everybody get' needs third-person singular verb 'gets.' 'with bicycle' is wrong preposition and article; use 'by bicycle' or 'on bicycles.' Also simplify 'in summer' or 'during the summer.' Suggestions: ensure subject and verb agree, use correct adjective modifiers ('very popular'), choose correct prepositions ('during', 'on the seaside', 'by bicycle'), and maintain consistent pluralization for count nouns.
