looking over the discussion page, they added =floor in sept 2017 (in
response to various questions) to not only be a =surface substitute,
but for it to be combined with building=yes to tag fully enclosed
bicycle parking buildings (not sheds, nor covered=yes roofs, but full
buildings). I understand the reason - so the type of stands can be
tagged onto an existing building=yes polygon (rather than using
something like parking=multilevel).
Currently, =floor makes up 0.15% of usage (256 uses), the lowest of
all the documented values (compared to stands at 109,000 / 63%).

this may seem like a little thing, but there will thousands more if
just Japan is properly mapped.
I understand the need.
I don't think the solution of using surface will do.
surface=paved says nothing about if the bicycle can be secured and what too.
Nor does it say anything about how the bike is held.
The bicycle_parking key is used for lots of things...
buildings/sheds
stands/racks
A very poor key!
I think the key should be replaced.
Buildings and sheds already have a key building=* so those values can be
depreciated.
Stands/racks are all indications of how the bike is held while parked.
bicycle_holding=stand/rack/bollard/post/* ?
Then the issue of securing the bicycle?
bicycle_secure=lock,supervised,provided_lock,*
???
