But are there a lot of these repair stations around? I know of none.
We
usually have our bikes repaired in a bike shop.
I made list of manufacturers of this type of station at
http://guides.obviously.com/Public-Bicycle-Work-and-Repair-Stands-2/1925
[1] ).
And then talked to the marketing department at each one. I estimate
there are some 5000 units worldwide, which rose sharply in 2014.
I figure that OSM has a small role to play here: if everyone's
smartphone bike app can FIND these stations, that will increase
awareness and thus encourage universities and cities to install them.
I wrote a template letter for the manufacturers to include with the
stations, with instructions on how to map.
My goal is that OSM become the worldwide "go to" map for this type of
feature, and I think we can get there with everyone pitching in!
Of course. My comment was geared towards the suggestion that the dutch
or belgian community would be an addition.
To my knowledge these stations are unknwon in the Netherlands.

Maarten
