Thanks for your hepful response (below).And sorry that I "re-sent" my
questions in a slightly different way.
However, there were two new points.
One question about the life expectancy of the current site and one suggestion
or inspiration (By some possibly perceived as wishful thinking):
I enjoyed testing your solution, and I would like to announce it to others to
try.
But I suppose continued operation of the current site is uncertain?
That fact(?) holds me back a bit, except for "geeks" and bicycle+map
affectionados.
Ideally The European Cyclists Federation or even UNEP or some other big
organisation would offer to support operations of such a site, and cater for
large traffic loads and continued development for, say, a 10 year period :-)
In the larger picture the costs would be quie low!

Thanks, us as well ;)

An excellent question, and something we want to improve in a future version
(the discoverability and ease-of-use of the "layer" definitions).
To answer the bicycle cafés question in the context of the current version:
Take a look at
https://github.com/pietervdvn/MapComplete/blob/master/Customizations/Layers/BikeCafes.ts#L23.
That overpass filter/query can basically be written as: "a pub/bar/cafe with
pub=cycling or any bicycle:service" (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/WSU).
With regards to precedence, both POI's would be shown (not ideal). With the
current definitions this might happen if there's an overlap on shop=bicycle,
amenity=pub/bar/cafe, amenity=bicycle_parking or amenity=bicycle_repair_station.

For "pure" bicycle shops we use shop=bicycle, for "other" shops (general
sports equipment stores) we use shop=* + any bicycle:service:* tag.
We're excited for the future and we're continuing work on making the project
more user-friendly and approachable!
Thanks for the kind words and with kind regards,

What I miss in the Cyclofix project is an easy-to find definition of how you
classify the nodes that are to be included in the differewnt map "layers".
Which search is it that produces the bicycle cafés. (And what takes precedence
if two or more criteria are fulfilled?)
I agree with making a distinction between "pure" bicycle shops and general
sport shops that offer bicycles or repair of bicycles.
However, the way Cyclofix has decided to differentiate is not self-evident to
me, after briefly checking your documentation. I must admit that I did not
really consider looking at the source-code ;-)

Dear OSM community,
My name is Pierre Barban. A team composed of three very motivated students,
including myself, and lead by two active members of the OSMbe, have been
mandated by the region of Brussels, Belgium, to create a map gathering all kind
of data related to cycling. Without a doubt, OpenStreetMap was the perfect tool
for us to create a powerful platform that would sustain over the years.
In the framework of month-long online code camp organized by the non-profit
Open Knowledge Belgium, we have been able to establish the first version of the
tool, organized a mapathon to collect data, and create a complete website to
document the entire making process.
In accordance with the OSM core values, it would be very valuable for our
project as well as our individual learning process to receive as many
constructive comments from the community as possible. If you're interested in
more details about the project, we will be giving an online presentation
tomorrow July 30, 2020 at 1pm CEST. We will be available to directly discuss
after the presentation to receive feedback in order to keep improving our
project. Other related project from our program, Open Summer of Code, like the
Bike Data Project - which aims to collect and share cyclist commute data in an
opened way - will also be presented to you.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information,
thank you for your time and help.
Sincerely,
Pierre Barban, from the Cyclofix project.
