Key Value Description Photo
bicycle_parking shed A custom-built shed in which many bikes can be stored, possibly with individual stands inside. Good security. Use supervised=* to indicate whether bikes are guarded. Enclosed, lockable bicycle shelter. Banyo, QLD, Australia.
bicycle_parking building Like shed above, but with a proper building, which means that bicycles are protected from wind, heavy rain etc. Good security. Use supervised=* to indicate whether bikes are guarded. Use opening_hours=* if applicable. Inside the Radstation in Münster.
bicycle_parking lockers Parking takes the form of lockers which enclose bicycles fully and individually, typically secured with some form of key or combination system. Good security. Often used at train stations. Bicycle Lockers. At Dunfermline Town Railway Station.
bicycle_parking stands A bended piece of metal against which you can lean your entire bicycle. Makes it possible to lock the frame and a wheel to it. Moderate security. Rectangular stands are sometimes called "staple racks" in North America due to their shape, and "Sheffield stands" in the UK. Use this tag even non-rectangular stands as well (e.g. round ones, fancy artistic ones). Sheffield stands
bicycle_parking sheffield A classic Sheffield stand is squarish, and simple in design. Almost exactly synonymous with "stands" above. This is a UK-centric term which probably isn't understood in other parts of the world. This is a common, de-facto tag value in the database. However, as per discussion, shouldn't be used anymore. Use stands instead.
bicycle_parking wall_loops Often scathingly referred to as "wheelbenders" by regular cyclists. Mostly attached to walls or into the ground. Secure only the front wheel, and give just enough grip for local vandals to stomp a wheel into a taco shape after stealing the rest of the bike. Low security. Low security wheelbender style bike rack on Macleay Island, QLD, Australia.
bicycle_parking anchors A mere anchor hammered into a wall, the ground, or boulders. Low security.
bicycle_parking informal Notably large or well-used railings, fences, or other street furniture which nobody objects to having bikes chained to for short periods of time. Don't use for every railing or street sign, but only for long-ish runs used by lots of people. Judgement required! Bicycles locked to a railing
bicycle_parking ground_slots Slots in the ground for a wheel. Almost not parking at all. No security. Is this even notable enough to mark on the map? Bike-rack-slots.jpg
