Key:aerialway:bicycle

Description

The key aerialway:bicycle=* indicates whether bicycles can be transported on aerialways. The following values are possible:

• aerialway:bicycle=yes – Bicycles can be transported all year round.
• aerialway:bicycle=summer – Bicycles can only be transported during summer.
• aerialway:bicycle=no – Bicycles cannot be transported.

Default Values

If this key is not set, the following default assumptions are made for different types of aerialways:

• aerialway=cable_car, aerialway=gondola, and aerialway=mixed_lift imply aerialway:bicycle=yes.
• aerialway=chair_lift and aerialway=t-bar imply aerialway:bicycle=no.

Details on Bicycle Transport

The possibility of taking bicycles on aerialways depends on various factors:

• As a rule, passengers load and unload their bicycles themselves onto the gondola or lift.
• For safety and weight reasons, e-bike batteries often have to be removed, as the brackets are usually designed for a maximum of 25 kg.
• The tyre width may also be restricted (usually up to 12 cm), as wider tyres may not fit in the holder.
• Whether bicycle transport is technically possible depends on the type of aerialway. In principle, it is possible with gondola lifts, chairlifts, and T-bar lifts, although technical modifications may be required.
• In many cases, there is an additional charge for transporting bicycles. This can be indicated using the fee=* key.
