Thanks, us as well ;)

An excellent question, and something we want to improve in a future version (the discoverability and ease-of-use of the "layer" definitions).

To answer the bicycle cafés question in the context of the current version:
Take a look at https://github.com/pietervdvn/MapComplete/blob/master/Customizations/Layers/BikeCafes.ts#L23. That overpass filter/query can basically be written as: "a pub/bar/cafe with pub=cycling or any bicycle:service" (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/WSU).

With regards to precedence, both POI's would be shown (not ideal). With the current definitions this might happen if there's an overlap on shop=bicycle, amenity=pub/bar/cafe, amenity=bicycle_parking or amenity=bicycle_repair_station.

For "pure" bicycle shops we use shop=bicycle, for "other" shops (general sports equipment stores) we use shop=* + any bicycle:service:* tag.

We're excited for the future and we're continuing work on making the project more user-friendly and approachable!

Thanks for the kind words and with kind regards,
Pieter Fiers

A team composed of three very motivated students, including myself, and lead by two active members of the OSMbe, have been mandated by the region of Brussels, Belgium, to create a map gathering all kind of data related to cycling. Without a doubt, OpenStreetMap was the perfect tool for us to create a powerful platform that would sustain over the years.

If you're interested in more details about the project, we will be giving an [online presentation](https://www.eventbrite.be/e/open-summer-of-code-2020-demo-day-live-streaming-registration-112787885602) tomorrow July 30, 2020 at 1pm CEST. We will be available to directly discuss after the presentation to receive feedback in order to keep improving our project. Other related project from our program, [Open Summer of Code](https://osoc.be/), like the Bike Data Project - which aims to collect and share cyclist commute data in an opened way - will also be presented to you.
