Hubway, the city’s bike-sharing system, is reopening all of its Boston stations, making this the earliest that Boston stations have ever deployed.

Stations began reopening Monday and will gradually “go live’’ each day over the next few weeks, the company said in a statement. Stations with on-street locations along the Boston Marathon route will not be deployed until after the race on Patriots’ Day.

Boston and Somerville stations closed at the end of December. Cambridge, the only city paying to keep Hubway stations open year round, kept 37 stations open this winter.

Boston riders are approaching their four millionth ride since the bike-sharing system launched in 2011, according to the company.
