[edit] Overview
Wheels in Durham, NC is a recreational facility containing a roller-skating rink in one building and an indoor playcenter (one of those habitrail-esque things you sometimes find at fast food restaurants, only somewhat larger) in another. There are also some outdoor facilities.
As of 2006-09-25 or earlier, free wireless internet (provided by Clearwire) is available in the play-structure area (and possibly elsewhere). (Have not actually seen this in action, but there were certainly instructions on how to use it sitting in plain sight. --Woozle 09:37, 28 September 2006 (EDT))

[edit] Directions
Coming from I-85 (either direction): exit onto 70. Cheek Road is the first exit, on the right. The exit loops around to face north again; turn right (east) onto Cheek Road. Some maps will show Hoover as the first intersection after you cross back over 70; this is wrong. Go through the traffic lights (first intersection) and take the first right after that (Hoover Road). Wheels will be on the right, with signs as shown above.
