You asked

In the data shared following FOI-1713-2021, the number of docking stations and the number of docking points are provided; however, not all docking points are provided with a bike. Therefore, the capacity in terms of the number of bikes available is not known. If it is not possible to obtain the number of bikes available at each station, please provide historic data on the total number of bikes available in the London bike sharing system from July 2010.
