Wheel and axle
A machine with a bar that pivots around a fixed point is called a lever. Levers are simple machines that can be used to lift or move objects by applying force on one end of the bar.
a simple machine, converts energy you have into a form you want. a handle bar converts a small force you put on the end bar into a larger torque that turns the shaft and the wheel into the pushing force you need to turn your bike.
The clearest example of a tool that is a simple machine is the crow bar, which is a lever.
simple machine is a machine that is simple to use. :/

A bike is not a simple machine. It is a compound machine. A bike is made of simple machines such as gears, a pulley, levers, wheel and axles, and screws.Firstly the Bicycle isn't a simple machine, its actually a compound machine meaning that it uses more than one simple machine to make it work.However the Pedals and Crankcase Sprocket and rear wheel sprocket are simple machines that fit into the Lever category as they allow you to exert and transfer torque.
A door nob is an example of a wheel and axle. The 2 handles would act as the wheels and the axle would be the bar that is in between them.
The kinds of simple machine are: Lever, Inclined Plane, Wheel and Axle, Screw, Wedge, Pulley. Lever is a rigid bar that turns or pivots on a fired point called fulcrum. It is used to push, pull or lift objects using less force. Inclined Plane is a ramp or scope that reduces the force you need to exert in lifting something. Wheel and Axle is a device in which a small wheel is attached at the center of a larger wheel. Screw is a inclined plane wound around a post. Wedge is used to cut, split or divide objects.It is made up of 2 inclined planes put back to back to form a sharp edge. Pulley is used to raise and to lower objects.It is a grooved wheel that turns on an axle and acts as lever, a simple machine which consist of small wheel with groove on a rope.

A rack is a type of simple machine called a gear. It consists of a straight, toothed bar that meshes with a gear wheel to transfer motion. Racks are often used in systems where linear motion needs to be converted into rotary motion or vice versa.
