Whoops.
I'm not familiar with your region. Within my own country, I'd probably accept these along a trail away from anything else but be less likely to approve if located in the metro.
I was going to say I don't think this qualifies, but I like Gendgi's rationale. Since this one seems to be on the street, I'd be less likely to approve it.
It's actually not on the street. It's on an "island" next to the sidewalk, separate from moving cars .
Yeah, oops - it said I could post it at all...
Yeah, I'm just curious because as you say, there is probably different oppinions depending on where you are from (this is a small city of less than 20.000 inhabitants)
That is clearly on the street and not in the middle of a forest.
I consider islands next to sidewalks safe if you can get to the sidewalk without stepping on the street. So with this one I would approve. It's more the fact that it's a bicycle fixing station that is meh to me. I don't believe people would purposely travel to it or congregate there for fun. So it would be a no for me overall. If it is like the only spot within half a mile with no other waypoints then I might be willing to approve just based on the scarceness of waypoints.
Care to explain? Just wondering and trying to learn. I'm not trying to dis you, just curious about your view.
Combine what Gengdi said with what TerraAnneBacon said.
A bike fixing station is nothing special in the city. It's not a place to gather, exercise, or be social. But if it's out on a trail in the woods, it may be a decent POI to encourage exploration or as a replacement for a trail marker.
But this is all personal opinion. And since I'm not in your reviewing area, the people around you may have completely different opinions. All Wayfarer reviewing comes down to personal opinion.
@SeaprincessHNB-PGO thank you for sharing your view.
And appologies for the missing poll, it failed at the upload...
Agreed with previous comments. It would depend on the region surroundings, and how unique that thing is. I have to say I've never seen any of those in my country so it would stand a higher chance there. But if the country's maps are dotted with them it would be as boring as a traffic light.
@Jeroenix-ING It's unique for my part of the country, only 2 are in my city.
