Proposal

I propose to introduce the new namespace service:bicycle in order to map detailed features of a bicycle shop (shop=bicycle). For instance service:bicycle:repair=yes would mean that the shop can repair bikes, while service:bicycle:retail=no means that it doesn't sell bikes (it could be a repair-only shop). These tags could be applied to other POIs as well: a hotel which rents bikes could be tagged with service:bicycle:rental=yes

Rationale

Currently bike shops are mapped as shop=bicycle which means "A store where you can buy and/or repair your bike and buy accessories". This does not convey enough information from a cyclist's perspective.

Details

I propose to introduce the namespace service:bicycle together with the following keys. Should a new key be needed, it should be added to the table with a clear and concise description. Ideally, all key should support only yes/no values.

key possible values description
service:bicycle:retail yes/no bicycles are sold
service:bicycle:repair yes/no bicycles are repaired (for a fee)
service:bicycle:rental yes/no bicycles are rented.
Not to be confused with amenity=bicycle_rental which is reserved for "bicycle rental service based on parking stations" and "does not concern bicycle rental shops"
service:bicycle:pump yes/no there is a free bicycle pump which can be used by anybody (it is not restricted to customers)
service:bicycle:diy yes/no there are tools for do-it-yourself bike repair / building (e.g. a bike co-operative). In some cases tools are freely available, in other cases a fee must be paid.
service:bicycle:cleaning yes/no bicycles are washed (for a fee)
service:bicycle:second_hand yes/no second-hand bicycles are sold

If a bicycle shop is not tagged with a key from the above list, it means that its status is unknown: for instance, if a bicycle shop does not have a service:bicycle:repair tag, nothing can be assumed about its repair service.

Applies to

These keys naturally apply to bicycle shops (which are mapped as shop=bicycle) but can apply to other objects as well:

Examples

A bicycle shop which sells bikes but doesn't repair them: 

shop=bicycle
service:bicycle:retail=yes
service:bicycle:repair=no

A bicycle shop which doesn't sell bikes, but repairs them and offers a free pump: 

shop=bicycle
service:bicycle:retail=no
service:bicycle:repair=yes
service:bicycle:pump=yes

A hotel which rents bikes: 

tourism=hotel
service:bicycle:rental=yes

More keys

Proposed features/More service:bicycle keys contains a proposal for more keys (which are not covered by this proposal).

Alternative namespace

As discussed market: or shop: have been replaced with service:. This gives a clearer picture of what is actually available.
