Bicycle Wheel

A bicycle wheel is a circular component that allows a bicycle to move smoothly. It consists of a hub at the center, spokes radiating outward, and an outer rim where the tire sits. The hub connects to the bike's axle, enabling rotation, while the spokes evenly distribute the rider's weight and handle forces during riding. When inflated, the tire provides grip and cushioning. Properly designed and maintained wheels ensure stability, efficiency, and safety, making it a vital part of a bicycle’s functionality.
