I remove it (the present diagram is good) Rocchini (talk) 07:57, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
According to user Androstachys (talk · contribs) "in the more general case, a wheel of any shape will roll smoothly provided the ground profile complements that of the rolling wheel." I doubt that a needle shaped wheel will run smoothly. I think this statement needs to be backed up by a reliable source. I have removed the statement. DVdm (talk) 16:29, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
i believe wikis obvious point of view should be taken here. in regards to a needle shape wheel its essentially the same as a square wheel in best practice but with steeper hills and longer gaps before they dip down again. any shape can be drawn ina theortical best shape design (roll the shape over multiple times) however this does not always mean a real world situation exists for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.91.9.153 (talk) 00:20, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
The film The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a short sequence that shows a bicycle with square wheels (as a reference to something in the book) and I think this article should mention it. There are pictures of the bicycle online at [1] and [2]. What do you think? 207.65.109.10 (talk) 08:48, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
