A winged wheel is a symbol used historically on monuments by the ancient Greeks and Romans and more recently as a heraldic charge. The symbol was associated with the ancient Greek god Hermes. In heraldry the symbol has been used to represent transport, speed and progress. A three-winged wheel was chosen as the logo of the British Cyclists' Touring Club and at one point was considered "cycling’s most famous symbol". A two-winged version formed the logo of the London General Omnibus Company and, after a merger, formed the basis of the modern London Underground roundel.
