size and a pedal crank mechanism to drive the rear wheel. There are many systems for classifying types
of motorcycles, describing how the motorcycles are put to use, or the designer’s intent, or some
combination of the two. Six main categories are widely recognized: cruiser, sport, touring, standard, dual-
purpose bike.

Some motorcycles are specially adapted for specific job functions, such as those used by the ambulance,
Blood Bikes, fire, and military services, and for specialized delivery services, such as pizza deliveries.
Beginning in the 1960s with the Mountain Goat specialized motorcycles were developed for use on farms.

Usain Bolt, Jamaica, Sprinter.

athletes in the world.

Born on 21 August 1986, he is a Jamaican sprinter widely regarded as the fastest person ever. He is the

4×100 meters relay. He is the reigning Olympic champion in these three events, the first man to win six
Olympic gold medals in sprinting, and a five-time World champion. He was the first to achieve a “double
double” by winning 100 m and 200 m titles at consecutive Olympics (2008 and 2012) and topped this
through the first “double triple” (including 4×100m relays).
