Off topic: In my opinion, that's how *all* access tags should have been. It's incredibly many who don't know that bicycle=yes/no/whatever is an access tag and not a "route choice opinion" or something like that. So they put bicycle=no if they don't think it fits their commute bike... Access:bic

We already have something similar in amenity=parking hiking=yes ski=yes in order to indicate that a parking is mostly used for people who go hiking and/or skiing. I.e. not for parking of boots and skis... In other words, if you use bicycle=yes it may not be obvious whether it is: * a bi
