Motorcycles are descended from the “safety bicycle,” a bicycle with front and rear wheels of the same

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.

popular athletes in the world.

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

in 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

2012) and topped this through the first “double triple” (including 4×100m relays).

The man with the appropriate name, Bolt makes sprinting look easy, often slowing down before the
finish line but still breaking world records by a comfortable margin. He will then strike his lightning
bolt pose for the world to see. Bolt is fast, and Puma moved the fastest in signing up the sprinter.
