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.

The definition of simple Machines is: "A simple machineis a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force".

A bike saddle doesn't change the magnitude or direction of a force.

It's just a prop, a support.

A tricycle is a compound machine, which combines various simple machines like wheels (wheel and axle) and pedals (lever) to make it easier for a person to move from one place to another.
