A wheel is provided herein for vehicles using spoked wheels. Small obstacles, steps, and curbs present serious impediments to wheelchair and bicycle travelers. Yet until recently wheels for these vehicles have remained unchanged. These rigid type vehicles have the disadvantage of transmitting to their users shocks and vibrations generated by traversing over obstacles or rough terrain, creating an uncomfortable ride. The wheel herein responds to loads or shocks while overcoming the difficulties of prior art wheels. The wheel is of the type having a circular rim with the hub at its center, and spokes connected between the hub and the rim. A wheel is provided in which not only the spokes are unique, but the rim as well.
