I have bike. vs I have to bike.

The correct phrase is "I have a bike." The first phrase, "I have bike." is incorrect because it is missing the article "a" before the noun "bike." The second phrase, "I have to bike." is also incorrect because it implies a different meaning, suggesting the necessity or obligation to ride a bike.
