I am unsure. IMHO, an unmanned station for bicycle pick up / drop off is
quite different from a shop with staff that offers bicycles for rents (and
often organizes guided visits, etc.). The second in my opinion is clearly
addressing tourists while the bicycle station is for both, locals and
tourists, depending on the specifics of the system maybe also for locals
only. On the other hand, functionally you can rent a bicycle in both
places.

Cheers,
Martin
