    I say wheels: trucks, trains, planes, chairs, skateboards, roller skates, toy cars, small cabinets with wheels, bikes, motorcycles, scooters, wheelbarrows etc have more wheels than doors.

      But think of all of the buildings that have no wheels and tens or hundreds of doors. And what about cabinets, they unequivocally have doors and only occasionally have wheels

        I had this thought too, then I realized the office chair I’m sitting in has 5 wheels, and the cabinet with my printer has 4, but my office only has 1 door. Then there is my secret bookcase door, but it has 2 wheels. Counting everything door and wheel in my house comes out pretty even. But doors would win if you count cabinets as doors.

      There are many biological things you could easily consider a door, but there are no biological wheels.

      Also planes have doors to enclose their wheels. When not in use as well as doors for the passengers and pilots to enter the plane. I think on average there are more airplane doors than airplane wheels.

        Other than most planes have multiple wheels per gear. And especially so the heavier it gets.

        For planes, I’m on the wheels side

          That’s a hot take, considering there is a door above every row of seats on a plane for passengers carry-ons, not to mention all the doors for all the stuff the flight attendants have stowed away that has to be able to be closed off. There are SO MANY doors on a commercial plane.

        There absolutely are biological wheels. The ATP synthase molecule has an axle and rotor that spins, and you have ~1 quintillion in your body.

        Yeah planes probably have an balance between wheels and doors.

        I can see the biological angle I think that’s a bit stupid, if we consider transistors doors then doors win by a giant margin. So I considered the simple definition, like a car door or house doors and same with wheels
