There is a flower shop at the back of park. I think it's only a five minute walk from the bakery. There are other places to visit around here. It would be great if you have a bike.
#miss

Oh, I have a bike.
But, There is my bike in the bicycle parking lot of the three blocks back from here.
Is it easier to go by bus from here?

#correct

Oh, I have a bike. But, my bike is in the bicycle parking lot, three blocks back from here. Is it easier to go by bus from here?

It's more convenient to walk because the time that you will spend waiting for a bus is the same as the time that you will spend to get to the park. Besides, walking is the best exercise.
#miss

Yes, that's right.
I decided to walk to the park.
I can spend the time that the walk is healthy, and is happy.

#correct
