Question for Montreal, Mpls, etc. Are the bike share services in these snowy cities open year round? Boston's Hubway service launched at the beginning of August this year and was open through November. It will open again in March.

New Balance sponsors Hubway and Alta Bicycle Share operates it. Right now there are only 61 stations, but this number will more than double next year, with the program expanding to Cambridge, Brookline and Somerville, as well as additional stations throughout Boston proper.

The only ridership numbers I can find say "over 140,000 trips in the program's first ten weeks of operation." Not bad for only 20% of the year!
