Quick question on this what are poeple doing with this data in cases where a shop is showing correctly in the list and is on the ground but isn't really a bike shop?

The example I found is TISO:

Which is an outdoor shop, but you would be disappointed if you turned up looking for an inner tube.

Cheers
Chris

Could you add a name search? Moving the map is clumsy.
It's on the todo list. At the moment you can search for cycle shop names using 
the full list, and the text search in your browser.

If we add a tag like network=Association of Cycle Traders to the shops, it
would be possible to highlight shops that disappear from future revisions of
this list that may have closed.
I don't know if we are going to be getting updates. It may be possible to get a 
separate list of shops that have been removed from the list, however I would 
recommend doing a ground survey to verify that the shop has closed, as it may 
just be that they are no longer a member of the Association of Cycle Traders. 
At this stage the tool will need to be made more advanced.

Is anyone pointing out to Halfords that other bicycle shops are going into OSM
and would they like to follow?
I'm not aware of anyone who has spoken to Halfords, however it wouldn't 
surprise me if they would charge for this information for use by various POI 
aggregation companies.
