I think this is a good example of where notes are the way to go. A badly positioned node is only likely to be spotted by a mapper who is specifically interested in bike repair stations, whereas a note will be spotted and acted upon by a more general mapper visiting an area. The note can contain info on how to tag or a reference to one that has been properly surveyed.
