Can it be ridden, or is it for display?
It would hurt like hell to ride. Wood wheels aren’t gentle.
Nope, in fact wooden rims ride very smooth compared to aluminium rims. Also, take a closer look, there are state of the art pneumatic road bike tires on.
Looks like it still has rubber tires, so probably just fine.
Rubber isn’t the only shock absorption that a racing bike uses. The metal wheels deform a bit to absorb impact as well.
You must be thinking of steel rims, which are completely outdated tech. Bikes have aluminium rims nowadays and aluminium rims are stiff af, compared to other materials
