[Tagging] capacity=* of bicycle sharing stations when no. of bikes > no. of stands

Hi all, A new bicycle-sharing scheme called MEVO has just (sort of) started in Poland. It consists of 660 stations, which function like regular bicycle stands (no active parts). The bikes are station-less, which means they can be left in almost any place in the city except excluded zones (albeit
