Bryce,
I brought this up at a HOT meetup yesterday. Once of the mappers was an
avid rider that wasn't aware of the existence of repair stations but wanted
to learn more. There are only a few in Seattle, mostly on UW Campus. I'd
like to see these imported and verified. I'll bring it up at a GIS meeting
in a couple weeks to ask the riders to help out. Even the the downpour of
late wasn't enough to keep people from biking to the meetings.

Can you get me a geojson or shapefile of Washington State?

Thanks,
Clifford
