The Wheel Mill, Pittsburgh’s indoor bike park in Homewood, was one of few such facilities in the United States. The 80,000-square-foot park closed its doors last month. Plans are in place to fill the space with pickleball courts while the biking community reimagines what might be possible elsewhere.
