The correct sentence is:

The bike on the bike rack is blue.

The other sentences contain subject-verb agreement errors. Here’s a brief correction for each:

  1. "The cars in the parking lot belong to the teachers." (Subject "cars" is plural, so the verb should be "belong.")
  2. "The sidewalks in the courtyards have been decorated with chalk." (Subject "sidewalks" is plural, so the verb should be "have.")
  3. "The surface of the parking lots was redone this summer." (Subject "surface" is singular, so the verb should be "was.")
