Proposal:Motorcycle friendly/tag description
![]() |
The "First voting" on this tag in January 2017 was staged with sock-puppets. The voting in January 2017 was not only unannounced and without sufficient discussion an therefore invalid, it was also staged, i.e. faked systematically, 12 from the 13 yes-voters are sock puppets, thus no active members of the OSM community, they were created for this vote, thus not eligible for voting. None of them contributed to the OSM database. It was noted previously, that their only ever wiki contribution was this "voting". From existing users, the votes were 3:1 against, so in addition tag was clearly rejected. In addition, this tag does not comply with the basic rule of Verifiability. See the discussions on the Tagging mailing list from March 2017 and October 2017 and the page of the proposal about this tag for further information. |
This tag is for indication that a map entity such as a hotel, campsite etc. offers accommodation for bikers which usually includes special offers such as a place to dry clothes, technical help a.s.o. (also see Talk:Key:motorcycle friendly).
Note that this tag is subjective, vague, unverifiable, rarely tagged and not used by any real data consumer. All this problems are result of fundamental problems and unlikely to be fixable.
What should be tagged
This tag could be used for:
tourism=camp_site
tourism=hotel
tourism=hostel
tourism=motel
tourism=guest_house
tourism=chalet
tourism=apartment
amenity=restaurant
(as there are some especially for bikers)
Tagging
- secure parking (not necessarily a garage)
- tools for minor repairs
- drying room (for wet clothes and other equipment)
- tour tips and informations about motorcycle-related POIs in the region.
motorcycle_friendly=customary
(if there are no or less special offers, but bikers welcome)
motorcycle_friendly=no
(just if bikers aren't welcome)
Optional
(see Proposed features/motorcycle_friendly and compare with Services tags in shop=motorcycle
)

Useful combinations
description=*
Short summary of characteristics (Garage, tools, drying room, tour tips)
With one of the above mentioned tourism=*
tags :
- Overview
amenity#Sustenance=*
-pub
,biergarten
,cafe
,fast_food
,restaurant
... - Overview
sport#Core_values=*
-billiards
,table_soccer
,darts
,table_tennis
,tennis
,swimming
... - Overview
leisure=*
-pitch
,picnic_table
,swimming_pool
,miniature_golf
...
Separate several sport/leisure values with ;
Example : sport=billiards;table_soccer;darts
In case of several values for amenity=*
, create new node or way,
also because opening_hours etc. may differ
Why not amenity=motorcycle_friendly ?
Would get in conflict if an entity is tagged with tourism=hotel
and amenity=restaurant
.
