Fixes #999

It is harder than I imagined to make it visible even in low sizes…
…and in two colors as it otherwise looks awkward.

So here is just my current try and here are a few things I've tried:

I also tried to just add a number/"2x" to the icon, but that also does not really look great.*
If you have further ideas (or any decision of which to choose/which way to use for these), please comment.

Rather than overlapping, where the shadows are hard to see, how about side-by-side?

The left one looks good. (Though they should be in the center)

I deliberately did not do that, because well… it just looks ugly. So these are two bikes stacked/piled on each other? Great.
Also it looks very "finite". There are two bikes, but no more? In contrast to the overlapping things, which get into the background and thus look kinda infinite, even when you only put two bikes at each other, this is just two bikes at each other.

Ideas:

  • instead of bikes, maybe try to represent the bike stands (hope the blue background also used in other bike quests, is clear enough to also represent "bike" in other quests)
  • or turn the way around when solving Icon for bicycle parking quest should show many bicycles behind each other #999: try to find an icon for "type of bike stand" and leave the icon for number of bikes? (kinda hard, IMHO)
  • somehow let the bikes go out of the area of the blue thing, but cut them at the end, so you can see parts getting out of the part (=> indefinite)
  • instead of my try with "2x" added on a bike, maybe "…"?
  • represent "number" somehow? (only one bike, but show a kind of input field – very similar to how the actual quest looks like)
  • one bike with "···" to both sides (maybe also vertically as we have more space there)?

On the second idea; Maybe make a light gray "stand" (like a staple) and have it behind the bicycle, thick and bright (steel color?) enough that it shows?

On the third idea: Maybe add half a tire on each side?

Yeah, I like both ideas…

I just did it myself. Too much text for such a small thing.
