During World War II, gliders were used to transport soldiers into enemy territory. Powerless and stealthy, the design of a glider was inspired by the movement of winged animals.  Today gliders are used for fun! Plane gliding is a popular sport, even making it to the Olympics in 1936, and glider enthusiasts can join clubs and participate in competitions.

Kiya and Sarain tried out plane gliding at the “Association de vol à voile Champlain”

Motorcycles are any motor vehicle on two or three wheels – if you hit four wheels, you’ve gone too far! The first motorcycle was created in the late 1800’s, and while today’s motorcycles are powered by combustion (just like a car), the first motorcycles were actually powered by steam! With tons of different kinds, from small scooters to huge bikes, motorcycles have become hugely popular, with riders forming clubs and riding alone as well as in groups for fun.
