A bicycle spoke and hub assembly (1) comprises a hub (10) and a connected device (20). The hub (10) has two opposing ends including a first end (101) and a second end (102). The first end (101) of the hub (10) has an installing portion (12). The installing portion (12) has an opening distal from the second end (102) of the hub (10). The connected device (20) includes a seat (21) and at least one spoke (22) extended from the seat (21). The seat (21) and the spoke (22) are made of one piece. The seat (21) of the connected device (20) is installed to the installing portion (12). The spoke (22) includes a first portion (221) integrally formed on the seat (21) and at least two second portions (222) installed to a rim. The second portions (222) are extended from the first portion (221). The stress applied on the spoke (22) will be dissipated on the seat (21) because the first portion (221) is integrally formed on an outer surface (214) of the seat (21). Stress concentration will not be caused between the seat (21) and the spoke (22).
