Thanks for pointing to it. It was also reminding of this earlier discussion on how to tag the "friendly" attitude of a place, but I couldn't find it back. "Biker friendly" is difficult to grasp because it's a mindset more than a fact, and we don't map places for their mindset but for tangible and

I agree with Frederick here, lgbtq=yes looks like the access tags. This discussion also reminds me the motorcycle-friendly thread not so long ago. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/motorcycle_friendly Yves Le 23 octobre 2018 20:27:04 GMT+02:00, Rory McCann a écrit : >Hi all,

This is not my area of expertise. But I’ve noticed that a number of bars that are designed for gay men in the USA have a sign on the door with a crossed out “W”. It looks like a no smoking sign but with a capital W instead of a cigarette. This means “no women allowed.” My wife tells me this is
