Two observations .... - the motorcycle preset in its present form (well with the exception of an improvement from yours truly) exists since at least JOSM 3498 6 years ago ... debating the motivations of whoever added the sale key is rather moot at this point in time.
- pure motorcycle rental places are very very rare (pls don't assume that it is the same as with cars), at least I and I suspect most other bikers are likely to search for dealerships and then check if they provide rentals or not. And yes, the sale key is rather weird, Simon Am 04.03.2016 um 07:56 schrieb Marc Gemis: > On Thu, Mar 3, 2016 at 7:24 PM, Martin Koppenhoefer > <dieterdre...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Am 03.03.2016 um 14:41 schrieb Marc Gemis <marc.ge...@gmail.com>: >>> >>> I'l agree that when there are separate tags for rental and repair >>> there is no need for sales=no. >>> Only when you try to bring everything under 1 umbrella the sales=no makes >>> sense. >> >> I don't see why a place to rent motorcycles should be tagged in a way that >> facilitates confusion with a place that sells motorcycles.
