The first law of Newton is for any material, and it states that if the net force on an object is zero, the object will be at rest

forever or will move with uniform velocity forever.

In the case of a bicycle, the obviously known forces are gravitational force, the reaction force of the ground on the bicycle, the force applied by the rider, and the various frictional forces on the cycle.

If the net of all of these forces and the other various forces not obviously known is zero, the cycle will either be at rest or will move with uniform speed in a straight line.

As newtons first law is the part of newtons second law then why you study newtons first law?

Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.

Can you modify your seven speed cruiser bicycle to have more gears for riding hills?

You can. but only with difficulty. As a cruiser has a rather poor riding position and is usually quite heavy as well you're probably better off looking for a bike with better riding characteristics in the first place.

What impact did the invention of the bicycle have?

Nothing really. One could imagine that it would have replaced horses, but horses were expensive, and not many had their own horse for simply riding around on. The bicycle, once the chain-driven "Safety Bike" went into mass production eventually became the first widely affordable means of personal transportation. At a push I guess you could say that bicycle riding partially replaced walking for personal transportation.
