amenity=bicycle_repair_station symbol (public 24/7 tools for fixing bikes)

[brycenesbitt]

An amenity=bicycle_repair_station is usually available 24/7,and hosts tools for repairs of bicycles. There are now over 500 mapped. Many people are not aware these stations even exist, thus the mapping.

The svg file is licence compatible.

Please, add before/after images.

Does Mapnik even support all the stuff you're using in that SVG? I believe there's a way to export a sane SVG from Inkscape.

I've had problems with stroke before in Mapnik

Regardless of the technical issues with the SVG, I'm against adding amenity=bicycle_repair_station. I feel it's too specialized and is similar to some other bicycle-specific features we've decided not to render (#591).

I'd like to see the example images covering the proposed rendering in a variety of settings.

is similar to some other bicycle-specific features we've decided not to render (#591).

In case of #591 I think that current situation is that there is no consensus for small ones, but gigantic ones should be somehow rendered.

In this case I am unsure - what after correcting for my positive bias toward anything cycling-related may be counted as being against rendering amenity=bicycle_repair_station.

I see no harm in rendering this, but only from high zoom levels to avoid clutter (z18 or z19). I think z17 is too early for a general purpose map.

@brycenesbitt re consistency: Here is my suggestion for bike repair that is consistent with bike rental (which is already in master) nebulon42/osmic/repair-bicycle-18.svg

Here is a version without halo (preferred by maintainers): https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nebulon42/bcae5a3d535ff862a99a/raw/6dda54bc284e36fb430dd6e130ed6a2b668da92d/repair-bicycle-16.svg

I think 500 items is still too little for it too deserve its own icon. Maybe in the future! Thanks anyway @brycenesbitt!

This is a worldwide feature, growing, with the capability of drawing new mappers to the project. A fraction of the existing stations are mapped, but the feature will still be far more rare than toilets or bike parking:

Now the number of uses is much higher (2800), the new icon has been proposed in a duplicate ticket, but we already have it in Osmic:

Oh, sorry - it's the old PR, not an issue...
