That was a great description of the given picture. What vibe does that picture give you? Can you describe the picture's atmosphere, please?

Considering his clothes, it's a confortable temperature. I can see a tree that has red leaves over there. I guess it's autumn. I think it is the best season for cycling.

2. Spelling.
3. Try to use contractions to make your sentences sound more idiomatic.
That was a good observation. You have a great guess about the season. Do you like riding a bicycle as well? Do you think that picture was taken in Japan?

Yes, I used to ride a road bike. That has a drop angle handlebars and thin tires. I really enjoyed riding it, but I don't have it anymore. Because every time I rode the bike, I felt scary. The thin tires make me slip and fall down easily. Cyclists have to ride in the car's lane and sometimes cars drive quite near me. It's so dangerous.
I have no idea if this picture was taken in Japan. The man looks a western guy, but those trees seem like they are popular in Japan.

1, 6. Use the simple past here as you’re describing a past situation.
2. No need for an article before non-specific, plural nouns.
3. Add a hyphen when using two or more words as a singular adjective.
4. You should never start a new statement with this conjunction as it is supposed to connect sentences, not start them.
5. Use "scary" when describing something and "scared" when describing how you feel about something.
7. Add this preposition when you mean "similar to".
8. Try to use contractions to make your sentences sound more idiomatic.
 Thank you for further adding those details. Do a lot of people use bicycles to commute to work in your country?

Some people including me commute by bicycle. But compared with western countries, those people are fewer in Japan. I can imagine
 some reasons.
First, many Japanese work until late at night every day. They are too tired to ride a bicycle after work. Second, many roads are not cyclist-friendly. Third, drivers aren't familiar with sharing the lanes with cyclists. So, some drivers don't pay attention to bicycles and sometimes they are mean to cyclists.

1, 5. This conjunction can never start a separate statement, so you should always use a comma before it, not a period.
2, 3, 6. Try to use contractions to make your sentences sound more idiomatic.
4. Use "be used to" when referring to a habit.
I understand. It must be difficult to consider both parties as they have logical reasons for it. What should be done?

I think we should learn how to get along with each other at a driving school. Also, cyclists have to obtain manners on the road. As I just mentioned, some drivers are mean, but some cyclists don't have good manners to ride on a bicycle.
