If they have a "brick and mortar" store, map the store, witth maybe
delivery=yes (or more suitable tag) to mean that they are also mobile.

If they have fixed stops with stable schedules, I would map the stops as a
shop=bicycle with opening_hours=* and a description/note to explain why the
"shop" is not present out of opening_hours.

If the bike shops intervene on-demand only, I think their presence is too
abstract to map them in OSM.
