A nutcracker is a lever, which is a simple machine that consists of a rigid bar rotating around a fixed point called a fulcrum. When you squeeze the handles of a nutcracker, the force applied is transferred to the nut at the other end, allowing you to crack it open.
The simple machine with a stiff bar that rests on a fulcrum is a lever. Levers are used to apply force to move objects by leveraging the applied force against the load.
Handlebars are a type of lever, which is a simple machine that consists of a rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point called a fulcrum. In the case of handlebars, the rider applies a force to one end of the lever to control the direction of the bike.
