A graph is called a partial cube if it admits an isometric embedding into a hypercube. Subdivisions of wheels are considered with respect to such embeddings and with respect to the convexity of their intervals. This allows us to answer in negative a question of Chepoi and Tardif from 1994 whether all bipartite graphs with convex intervals are partial cubes. On a positive side we prove that a graph which is bipartite, has convex intervals, and is not a partial cube, always contains a subdivision of $K_4$.
