Find the td with the text you are looking for like this:

tds = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//td[@class='textAlignCenter']")
for td in tds:
   if td.text == 'Bike':
      radio_input = td.find_element_by_xpath(".//input[@type='radio']")

I don't think it will take you a lot of effort to translate the code in Java

To click() on the radio-button with text as Bike you can use either of the following xpath based Locator Strategies:

Using Java and normalize-space():

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[@id='clientDocTypeDescription' and normalize-space()='Bike']//preceding::td[1]/input")).click();

Using Java and contains():

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[contains(., 'Bike')]//preceding::td[1]/input")).click();

Ideally to click() on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using Java and normalize-space():

new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//td[@id='clientDocTypeDescription' and normalize-space()='Bike']//preceding::td[1]/input"))).click();

Using Java and contains():

new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//td[contains(., 'Bike')]//preceding::td[1]/input"))).click();

Thanks for the suggestion , but in my requirement I really I don't know td index number of Bike then how i will select the radio button

@SoumyaRanjanDas The required <input> would be always at index 1. Even removing the index should work seamless.
