This morning, I woke up late. It was almost 8 am when I woke up and it was raining outside. I can’t go to work by bike on rainy days, so I decided to call Didi. It is so difficult to get a Didi on a rainy day and I can only carpool. I carpool with three people, so the ride took a bit longer than usual. Because my bicycle is at home, I have to take sharing bikes to go home when I am after work in the morning, but if it rains, I still need to carpool to go home.

What you wrote was correct, but this is more succinct.

It is so difficult to get a Didi on a rainy day, and I can only carpool.

I carpooled with three people, so the ride took a bit longer than usual.

Because my bicycle is at home, I have to take sharing bikes to go home when I am after work in the morning, but if it rains, I still need to carpool to go home.

The middle part of the sentence is a bit unclear. Do you mean that because you left your bike at home in the morning, you need to borrow a bike to go home in the evening?

You are right. But I usually get off work at 11:30, so I don't need to wait until the evening.

Ah, okay. So I would write the sentence like this: "When I leave my bicycle at home, I have to borrow another bike to return from work, but if it rains, I carpool home."
(Carpool is a verb as well as a noun.)
Does that help?
