A roller coaster car going uphill.
As it climbs, kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy; at a point partway up the hill the two can be equal. The other situations either keep one type essentially constant (stopped bicycle, steady-speed car) or simply lose kinetic energy without increasing potential (a runner slowing down).
