I and he = pronouns, subjects of their respective clauses
will walk and will ride = verbs of their respective clauses
and = conjunction, joining two independent clauses to make a compound sentence
bike = noun, direct object of the verb "ride"
a = article, modifying the noun "bike"
How do you tell what part of speech a word is under classification. How do you tell how each word is used in the sentence under construction?
I will walk and he will ride a bike.
