A wheel or bicycle is the poker hand 5-4-3-2-A, regardless of suit, which is a five-high straight, the lowest-ranking of the straights.
In ace-to-five low poker, where aces are allowed to play as low and straights and flushes do not count against a hand's "low" status, this is the best possible hand. In high/low split games, it is both the best possible low hand and a competitive high hand.
The origin of the name "Wheel" probably derives from the Bicycle playing cards issued by the U.S. Playing Card Company (http://www.usplayingcard.com/).
