As requested here are my thoughts. They can find locations of bicycle
parking stations in a city via query "amenity=bicycle_parking" at
https://overpass-turbo.eu/. A cycle mechanic sees immediately a bicycle
which needs a service. So they may place on such bicycles a leaflet with
a rubber band as shown on photos [1] with the URL of their website and
short marketing message.
But first they should check if such a direct advertising is tolerated in
this town. And a glue shall never be used to place leaflets, but only
elastic bands, as glue may permanently damage paint on a bicycle.
Another possibility is to study the experience of this organization:
http://velafrica.ch/en/What-we-do . This organization collects and
repair about fifteen thousand (!) bicycles per year. At that all repairs
are done either by professional mechanics themselves, or by volunteers
under supervision of professional cycle mechanics.

Locally we're seeing the demise of the local bicycle store with its
mechanic but there are a least two cycle mechanics operating out of
mobile workshops. You ring or contact them via the Internet.
Knowing that many in OSM indulge in cycling I'm wondering if they
should be included in the map and is there is some way of adding them
to the map, perhaps a tag on the city name?
Thoughts?
Thanks John
