Of course they can still apply blanket terms to not let you board if you do something unreasonable, like carry a 10 meter high foldable, a motorized stroller or something like that. nice project, although it looks as if it may get far too heavy to carry >> around once it is realized. >> > > As mentioned, there exist both concept and mass produced alternatives that have tiny luggage wheels just to aid carry, I can post some links if you haven't seen such before. Although, you generally rarely carry your foldable for extended periods - it is usually the one doing the carrying! I probably wouldn't understand what `bicycle=explicit_no` means if I didn't know about this thread. A core concept to follow when inventing OSM tags is that smart enough individuals should be capable of deciphering what a tag means just by reading all tags (and/or the possible values for the key) of the given POI and the context even without consulting the wiki. It's a funny thing that I wanted to recommend `bicycle=prohibited` at the same time instant that Paul posted his reply! Not sure what the _best_ tag would be, but at least this could be somewhat understood.
