Once this hassle is over, though, Hubway will up and running in nearly all the planned JP spots for this season. The station at the Monument is also being installed Thursday, Quinn said. There are still negotiations going about the location of the one near the Post Office. Other JP stations are at Jackson Square T, Green Street T and Egleston Square.

Quinn said he mostly gets a warm reception when he installs the stations.

"People say, 'Spring's here when you put your stations down.'"

It's $85 for a one-year membership in the bike-sharing service, though there are some discounts available. Low-income riders can even get a doctor's prescription for a $5 yearly membership.
