Yes, in BCN is very hot and humid now (doesn’t it sound strange this sentence?

It should be either "Yes, in BCN it is..." or "Yes, in BCN is..."

I don't get why the correction on "times". I intended to say most of the instances of me reading something, not time as the thing clocks measure. In Portuguese "a maioria das vezes", not "a maior parte do tempo". How should I say that?

"most of the time" (small error by Dormouse) is the most natural way to say it in English. You could say "most times", but it sounds odd to me.

Oops! Yes, silly mistake.

No, but I did drive 5 km or so with my new bike for a second opinion to the bike store to find it closed. It was so annoying! First all the shops were closed and now they're on holiday, you'd think they take the chance now to earn some money...

Since you only "ride" a bike and never "drive" it, the standard interpretation is that you put your bike into a car and drove to the bike shop. Is that what happened?

The person after me thinks the American elections should be postponed.

Sure--as long as everyone keeps in mind that, if the election fails to take place before January 21st, then the Speaker of House assumes the office of President regardless.

The person after me has never cast a vote in an election for their country's head of government.

No, I should have said: ride. My bike doesn't fit in my car, I just used the wrong word, thanks for pointing that out.
