Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Pittsburgh, Scott Bricker boasts, has some world-class urban mountain biking. Its really incredible. After all, said the executive director of Bike Pittsburgh, There arent many places where you can fly into a city and, within an hour, be on an amazing trail.

But during winter, many riders would just as soon not even cross the street. Which is where The Wheel Mill, and this weekends Wood Fest celebration, come in.

Built inside an 80,000-square-foot Homewood warehouse, Wheel Mill is practically an urban forest in its own right. BMX ramps and mountain-biking obstacle courses sprawl from one room to the next, fashioned from plywood, recycled lumber and the occasional dead tree trunk. But its all indoors.

People have told us, Im so glad youre here, because I just used to drink over the winter, said Wheel Mill owner Harry Geyer, who opened the facility in 2013.

On Saturday, Mr. Geyer hosted Wood Fest in an effort to give hibernating cyclists extra incentive for getting in gear. Along with the usual crowd of riders perfecting the arts of tire-grabbing and tail-whipping, Virginia-based instructor Harlan Price was on hand to teach free clinics in skills like wheel hopping. There were also events like the footdown contest, a sort of bike-mounted combination joust and roller-derby event in which dozens of cyclists traveled in a loose circle while trying to force each other off balance.

Its like a childhood game that never got old, said Adam Hauck, who won the event.

A professional mountain-biker, Mr. Hauck traveled to Wood Fest from Bloomfield, N.J., on behalf of a sponsor. Pittsburgh, he said, has an unreal bike community, with The Wheel Mill serving as a family-friendly hub.

There arent many places where parents and kids have some place they can both ride, Mr. Hauck said. While he, too, appreciated a chance to bike while sheltered from the elements, he said the buildings gritty past kept the environment from getting too sterile.

I really like that its an old building thats gotten a second life, he said. The roof is leaking over there, so its just like being outside.

This is The Wheel Mills second winter, its busiest season, and Mr. Geyer said it has been attracting half again as many people this year as last year. And with constant additions and changes to park features, his wheels never stop spinning, even though the park already features some obstacles Mr. Geyer himself has yet to master.

Wood, composite products and vinyl are familiar choices when it comes to decking materials.

At next week's annual Home Show in Rock Island, you'll beable to check out anew porcelaintilemanufactured in the Quad-Cities byMbrico Tile Decks.

The company was founded by McManus Development,a Quad-City homebuilder specializing in high-end construction, which wanteda superiordecking material thatcould withstand harsh winters, Deb McManus said.

Engineering and product-testing began about five years ago, with the first installation four years ago, she added.

Mbricois grout-free, resistant to frost, mold, rot, slipping and fading, and is available in various sizes, patterns and colors, she said.

The product requires professional installation to ensure proper framing. Buyershaveto find their own installer the product comes with specific instructions or Mbrico will provide recommendations upon request.

The tile is more expensive than other surfaces, but is longer-lasting, McManus said, adding, "Thisis a product that does not have to be refinished or replaced."

This is Mbrico's first year at the show. At present, its tile is available only through the company; it'snotsold in stores. A website with buying information is expected to be launched the week of the home show.

The word "Mbrico" means "Italian," McManus said. The name was picked to be unique and "stand out in the American market."

Mbrico will be one of140 vendors at the 37th annual Home Show, which is a"one-stop shopping" experience for people consideringany kind of home improvement project, including a new home.
