A script that finds out how close Nextbike's bikes can be left from their stations

How you ever wondered how far away can you leave a Nextbike loaner bike from one of its stations, but have it still count as left on the station to avoid paying the fee?

Well, now you can find out.

Usage screenshot

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/karolba/nextbike-bike-station-distance
$ cd nextbike-bike-station-distance
$ npm install
$ ./run.sh 'https://wroclawskirower.pl/mapa-stacji/' # A link to a Nextbike map for your city

Results

For Wrocław, it seems that the maximum distance is about 100 meters - bikes to stations closer than that appear from time to time (as can be seen on the screenshot) but there's always only a few of them - I assume those are some sort of flukes.
