  - Sounds good, I am using ~the same tag already. MikeCollinson 19:34, 8 October 2007 (BST)
  - I don't know who the proposer is, so I've taken the liberty of opening this for voting. Seems a simple one! MikeCollinson 13:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
  How does one distinguish between repair and sales? I know a shop (very cheap), but very limited opening hours and no repair. And an other one that seems to specialise in repair (called bicycle garage in Dutch) --Polyglot 15:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  - description=* -- MapFlea 14:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
  - The description tag is meant for unstructured free text, not for storing structural information. In countries with a lot of cyclists, there is a clear distinction between shops that sell bicycles and places that repair them, compare this to a shop=car and a shop=car_repair.--Pbb (talk) 17:29, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
  isn't this a likely candidate for merging into shop=outdoor ? bycicle shops seem to be a subset of outdoor ones, so they could be designated with type=bycicle afterwards. --Richlv 15:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
  - No. In many countries, bicycles are seen as a mode of transport, instead of sporting goods. Merging with shop=outdoor makes just as little sense as merging shop=car or shop=shoes with shop=outdoor. (Both of those are also mostly used outdoors, and can be used in sporting contexts.) Outdoor/sport shops may offer a collection of sporting bikes, just as they may have sporting shoes, but that doesn't make bicycle (or shoe) shops into sporting shops. --Pbb (talk) 17:29, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

  Additional keys
  The service: prefix looks incredibly clunky. I can see what you're trying to do here, but this isn't the way to do it - primarily because Key:service (which describes service roads) is in widespread use, and this shouldn't be a subtype of it. Let's just put everything in bicycle: instead, which has the advantage that it's about bicycles. I'm inteintionally ignoring the mess that is the railway usage of service=*, and the equally incoherent and contradictory Tag:shop=car usage of service=*. Ugh.) --achadwick 11:20, 9 June 2011 (BST)
  - Though of course hiving it under something that's already used for bicycle-related Access makes just as much of a mockery of the namespace concept as the original proposal, excuse the undo. Would shop:bicycle=* work out? I know it got rejected, but I'm not sure why. --achadwick 11:36, 9 June 2011 (BST)
  - Why is there any need for prefixes? There is now both a repair=* key and a service:bicycle:repair=* key on the documentation page. Wouldn't it be good enough using the keys without prefix/namespace?--Pbb (talk) 17:45, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
  why service:bicycle:second_hand tag?
  why we have to add information of service:bicycle? the first tage shop=bicycle give informations of what we are searching just add the tag second_hand=yes would be more simple for mapper on OSM. --Yod4z 14:11, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
  service:bicycle:retail
  I just saw this on the mailinglist and thing it's stupid and should not be used. It's a bicycle shop so it should only be used when it actually sells bikes. Most of the data comsumers will just ignore bicycle service:bicycle:retail=no. I don't see the issue with using different tags for repair or rental only. --AndiG88 (talk) 09:37, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
  Additional use of "e-bike" instead of "bicycle" in the additional keys?
  I suggest to extend the use of additional keys to e-bikes in order ro indicate whether a shop sells/repairs e-bikes. Hence e.g. "service:e-bike:retail=yes" would mean that this shop sells e-bikes (while nothing is said about normal bikes) and "service:bicycle:repair=yes + service:e-bike:repair=no" would indicate that this shop can repair normal bikes, but no e-bikes. I think this is useful information for cyclists. Any objections?
