If I saw a wrench(spanner) on a map, I'd think it was a car repair shop, not 
for bicycles.  What about the bicycle icon with a small wrench standing on 
end in front of it?  This would signify that the shop is for bicycles and 
not cars.  Of course, I'm American and we don't ride bikes as much as we 
should so maybe this isn't the case for other parts of the world.  :)
