The documentation at http://www.cyclestreets.net/blog/2010/04/05/add-point-of-interest/ suggests that bike shops should always be added as nodes. Is that the case?
For example I'd previously added the Evans Cycles at the Metrocentre (near Newcastle) as a building (closed way). Tags: building=yes, name=Evans Cycles, shop=bicycle http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=54.9563944617016&lon=-1.67584697130855&zoom=16&layers=C I note that this doesn't seem to show on the Cycle Map renderer. Also, any objections if I post this up the link on a popular cycling site (SingletrackWorld) we might get a bit of help from them and recruit some new members at the same time.
