So fun. Lots of features and very well set up. My three year old tore it up on her strider bike and there is everything from fundamental skills areas for the little/new riders up to some sick looking ramps and jumps for the big kids

Affordable, creative fun place for adults and kids whom like to bike. restrooms, changing rooms, lockers, free parking along street and around the block, light snacks and beverages, many different routes and indoor bike trails. bring a friend or your kids to practice skills year round. Lots of other kids to learn from and watch too. *helmets required and they have safety pads + bikes for rent. Neat place for birthday parties!

If you like to ride a mountain bike and want a different experience this is the place for you. Its a great place to come when the weather in conditions are not suited for cycling. Everyone from your beginner to your expert cyclist can find something here that you will enjoy.

Totally worth checking out! Accommodates all types of platforms, has a great selection of parts and service in the pro shop! Great build, Ive ridden BMX for 22 years and this place makes me feel like Im riding dirt jump and rhythm in the wood! Awsome set up!

Amazing place!!! There is nothing like it would cost millions to make another one. The people are very helpful and accommodating. You have to bring your kids if they are into riding biking. It is hard to put in words how much they have for bike riding. I could not dream of what they have done.

Very cool place. I rode a fat bike and had a blast. It wasnt too crowded on a Wednesday night and there were plenty of times I had the room I was in to myself. Nice choice of lines, easy to expert, and soooooo much fun!

Review №22

This park is awesome, indoor Mt bike trails, pump tracks, and of course bmx vert. That said, Id say this place is the best for practicing those fundamentals, especially wall rides and crossing skinnies.

Review №25

You know its a serious bike park when the clerk has got his arm in a sling from what I guess is a biking injury. It worried me since I have a young kid that just starting riding but he loved it. The fundamentals area is great for beginners and the park is huge. I feel like my kid could go here for the next 10+ years and still have something to do and practice on.

Fun place, good jumps, really quick transitions might be hard for beginner rider. place is super slipper, pump track is harsh and is easy for young kid to crash when it hit 6:30 the heat go off and get cold as balls fast, but is is fun and small place, but during the covid no water allow in the park my friend stared to pass out for lack of water

It is certainly something you should do if you enjoy biking, its in my opinion similar to a skate park indoors. It was not my thing but im sure you will enjoy it if you go!

What a place!! Took my son there yesterday for his birthday!! He absolutely loved it!! Had to rent him a bike after derailleur got stuck in his spokes🥺!! Rental was reasonable and bike was a solid steed!! He was really impressed by the other people there and what they were doing. The pump track was his favorite and he literally rode it till he couldn’t pedal anymore!! Awesome place for riders of all skill levels. Take it easy or let it hang out!! Dad had a lot of fun too. Definitely going back. Gonna be a great option for winter activity in The Burg!!! Thank you for providing an excellent play ground!!!

Review №45

Lots of fun, but definitely more for older kids, probably around 7+ depending on biking ability. We went with a friend who brought a 2 and 3 year old. All the kids playing were very polite and considerate, but there isnt an area for toddlers or kids just learning to bike. All things considered, we were welcomed and tolerated much more than I expected, and the kids had a great time which is all you can ask for.

This is a hidden gem in the Pittsburgh area. The staff is super helpful and friendly. You can bring your own bike, safety gear and water. There are lockers in the facility to put your belongings (bring your own lock). The space is really open with lots of skill levels and tracks for different preferences. I have 3 kids with 3 different skill levels and there was something for everyone. I have to say the staff was one of the highlights of this facility as well. They are very warm and welcoming no matter what the skill level of the rider, from the smallest kiddo on the toddle bike to the regulars that come in all the time, everyone was treated well. Weve been twice since we discovered it. Worth the trip & worth the money!

Review №53

My son recently had a Learn to Ride lesson with Matt. Has been a bit of a struggle teaching my son to ride, as more time past the more we avoided. We both were becoming discouraged at the process. Matt was absolutely amazing, very patient and included some interesting learning techniques which really worked. By the end of the lesson, my son doing laps around the training room. We both were almost in tears. The next day, my son was still thrilled at his experience and new-found confidence in biking. A sincere thank you.Did not get to use the rest of the facility, but from appearances is amazing. Huge complex including indoor mountain bike tracks and skate/bike ramps. Staff was very professional with a great website/scheduling application.Five stars, definitely recommend the Wheel Mill.

The Wheel Mill exceeded my expectations! Excellent costumer service, and my rental was a sweet specialized P3. They had new hubs in them and made a cool sound! The features in the park were perfectly designed! And the jumps were very smooth! Ill be coming here every time I visit Pittsburgh! I wish they had one in Orlando!

This is the most impressive indoor facility in Pittsburgh. The Wheel Mills creators as well as the people who run it are very passionate and dedicated to making this place an awesome place to ride. I love how open and welcome they are to anyone, any age, any skill level. Everyone is really cool. Its great to see how locals progress. Talent is forged through the youth, creating warriors at their own craft.

This is a great place. We were intimidated at first, but we appreciated all the opportunities to build up skills as youre working your way through the building. By the end we were having a blast. I can see why someone would want a monthly membership. You can tell a lot of work has gone into this business and into creating a unique experience. We will be coming back!

Great place, friendly staff. Fun for all ages and a real asset to the cycling community. Very lucky to have the Wheel Mill in Pittsburgh. Thanks to my sessions here I have become a safer and more technical rider out on the trails. Highly recommend you stop in to check it out. Bring a bike or rent one.

Review №77

Kids had a fantastic time. Cons- the paperwork took way too long (we did fill out waiver ahead but there is about 15-20 min of check in to do which could be pared down). More could be done online ahead of time. They did not give my drivers license back to me when we returned our equip! We live out of town so had to have a friend get it. When I called, they said that you have to remember to ask. Really? They dont look too busy at the desk..can they remember to give it to you? They need a big sign when you exit or they need to give it back to you! Staff is ok-not super friendly.

Always a good place to ride when the weather in Pittsburgh gets ugly. My group is more of a cross country mountain bike crew, but we find enough runs here to make it fun once in a while. Its definitely geared more towards smaller BMX bikes, but fun can be had by mountain bikers once in a while. They do well with their relatively small building size. Pittsburgh is lucky to have the Wheelmill.

This was our first time here. The release is pretty involved, but necessary. There are many different skill levels from beginners on balance bikes to the guys doing backflips!We rented a bike and a helmet for our 10 yr old.The staff gives you the info on what is where and off you go. There are a few loung areas toHang out or take a break.

This place is incredible! The venue is HUGE and the atmosphere is fun in an old, classic Pittsburgh building. The owners really scored on this place. The neighborhood is pretty sketchy, but definitely worth the trip. There are so many things to do and for so many different levels for riders. Pittsburgh really needed a place like this. The city just got way cooler due to this place. Get your kids a season pass there or visit if youre passing through. Parents can hang out and its great fun for kiddos. Every city needs a Wheel Mill.

It was my first time at the Mill. This is got to be a good go to place for anybody who loves biking, BMX, and skateboarding. It also has a handicap wheelchair friendly accessibility as well. So you can actually practice jumps in wheelchairs. The hands style wheelchairs of course.There are so many different types of places to jump and different courses to test your abilities and have fun. You can actually order Pizza Parma Pizza here as well while you are doing your thing with your bike.Theres also this great area that has plenty of tables and would be a great room to rent out. Extremely rustic-style. A lot of wooden furniture and tables here make it a great picnic type scene that can be done indoors course. Would be a great great place to have a birthday party or an event.They also do lessons here for bikes $70 an hour. And you can rent a bike or bring your own. You can also rent helmets. They also have a bike shop theyre so that you can get things that you need.To rent everything is a little pricey in my book. Thats the only downfall. So you may want to bring your own bike and helmet.
