The Wheel

Spinning your wheels isn’t just going around in circles. In fact, it’s revolutionary–literally.

One of the six simple machines and perhaps the most important invention in the history of mankind, the wheel has been essential in all aspects of life–from farming to fighting, traveling to trading.
