For example https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bicycle_parking_stand_1.jpg <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bicycle_parking_stand_1.jpg> has capacity for 2 bicycles (one on each side) so bicycle parking with a single stand would get capacity=2 Yes, it is possible to attach more if one really tries (sometimes much more), but it in regular use it has capacity for two. The same with this stations - if it would have 5 stands with place to park one bicycle on each side it would get capacity=10 capacity="5 stands" is problematic as it may mean that there is space for 5 bicycles (because stands are too close), 10 (standard inverted U stands) or 30 (large spiral stands) or 100 (large stand formed into shape of letters, each letter big enough to work like single inverted U stand).
