It's Linda's Bicycle

I know the second sentence is wrong but how to use the 's' which comes along with Linda?

The second sentence is not wrong, except for capitalizing "bicycle" and not having a period at the end, which is also true of the first sentence.

A lot of people confuse the possessive "its" with the contraction "it's," If you write out the sentence as "It is Linda's bicycle." the problem goes away.

It's the Linda's bicycle.

the apostrophy on Linda's is possesive
the second one is not wrong. The first one is wrong. We put ('s) when we are talking of a particular person or thing. We cannot say He has many dog's. We have to say, He has many dogs. Because dog can be of any breed or name. When we are sure that this is his/her name then only we use ('s).

I don't know that why were u confused?? In the second sentence put "b" of bicycle in small case and ur second sentence is perfectly allright.

It's Linda's bicycle. The second sentence is wrong but only due to incorrect usage of the capital B.

The second sentence is correct. The ' denotes that the bicycle is something belonging to linda.

The first is wrong, the second is correct. 's comes from possessive articles. Lindas is for plural.

~~~ It's Linda's Bicycle the accent mark you used is the wrong one... use the one that is next to the ; key '... It's Linda's bicycle. don't forget the period on the end also, and bicycle shouldn't be capatolized ~~~
