In addition to training=cycling we should probably also support 
training:cycling=yes as a single place might offer training in more than one 
field.

I would prefer a long descriptive term (like: "cycling_training_area") over a 
nice artificial word like "bicycle_town" which creates more questions than it 
answers.

 

I agree completely about needing a descriptive term.  From the wikipedia page 
mentioned earlier in the thread it's clear
that different countries have different names for it and none of those names 
are self-explanatory.  Terms that are

self-explanatory mean that people using an editor can look through a list of 
possible values and it's obvious which

one to use without having to resort to the OSM wiki.

I'd prefer something more structured than duck tagging a crowded amenity tag, 
simply because we're likely to
encounter more types of training as time goes by.  amenity=training + 
training=cycling works for me.  Well,

for something private like a room with expensive flight simulators used by 
airlines then I'd say it's more of

a facility than an amenity (you can't just walk in, hand over some money and 
have a play) but access=private

lets us use amenity anyway (even for NASA's astronaut training facilities).
