Solution

S.No. Type of Motion Part of bicycle Reason
$1.$ Rectilinear Handles The handles do not move in circular or rotatory motion.
$2.$ Circular Pedals The pedals are fixed to the chain and cannot move in any other direction except circular.
$3.$ Both rectilinear and circular Wheels Wheels of a moving bicycle show rectilinear motion and circular motion. Because when the wheel is rotating, it also moves the bicycle forward.
