Usually the bicycle rests on something. And if you going to leave it for any time then locking it to some thing is a good idea.

Floor may be a poor choice? Flat may be more descriptive? There is nothing there for bicycles to lean on or be fastened to.

(Yes I know some parts of the world bicycles normally come with stands so they can be self suporting. But most bicycles hare have no stands.)

I agree, was pretty confused when I saw that as well (after I had mapped a bunch of regular parkings and then did some bicycle ones)

    It lists “floor” as the value for a wide open outdoor space with
    no stands or other affordances designated for parking bicycles.

    this seems weird to me. the ground / asphalt area next to a
    supermarket is not a “floor”.

    we use “surface” in car parking lots, and there are many of other
    types of indoor tags for tagging when a bike is in a building or
    shed (similar to parking=multilevel).

    I think that the values be standardized and the wiki changed.

    there is 60 uses of (undocumented) =surface and ~260 uses of
    (documented) =floor.

    we should standardize how we tag parking lots for any vehicle if
    it is just a flat outdoor surface.
