I am not sure that this is the best application of dict as __slots__. Maybe use dict for specifying default values? Currently slots are not compatible with class-level values used as fallbacks.
Following the pattern for namedtuple attributes, docstrings for slots could be specified as:
class Bicycle:
__slots__ = 'category', 'model', 'size', 'price'
Bicycle.category.__doc__ = 'Primary use: road, cross-over, or hybrid'
Bicycle.model.__doc__ = 'Unique six digit vendor-supplied code'
Bicycle.size.__doc__ = 'Rider size: child, small, medium, large, extra-large'
Bicycle.price.__doc__ = 'Manufacturer suggested retail price'
