I don't think we should worship biology like it's some miracle process with infinite wisdom. It makes sense to look to nature and biology for solutions when the engineering parameters are aligned (see wood, an excellent material that has impressive properties.) Otherwise, a lot of things that we retrospectively attribute to being inspired by nature are merely convergent designs (there aren't many ways to make something aerodynamic, if you would be surprised)
EDIT: I misread your post and I thought you were saying that wheels and axle were from biology. Sorry about that.
