Good idea, how did you gather the data?

Some of it is not entirely accurate, but that's okay, on a glance around my area I would say it is reasonably accurate.

The site loads https://storage.googleapis.com/bikebucket123/BikeRacksWithAd..., which looks like a dump of OpenStreetMap data.

I'm guessing they're just rendering the amenity=bicycle_parking entries.

The site is missing attribution, then, which is required by OSM's license (see https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright )

Came here to say this - looks awfully like OSM data and no attribution.

I'm also not clear on whether Google likes displaying OSM data on their map; it's a strange combination. I can't ever remember seeing "Copyright Google, Copyright OpenStreetMap contributors" in the footer of a page.

Pretty sure there's a bike rack in every town with a school. Your 'Almost*' has towns like Lismore (2 public high schools), Casino (1) and Murwillumbah (2 schools and bike rack on main street) all without racks
