It's spring in Montreal and that means the Bixi bikes will soon be back on the roads.

Crews will be out installing equipment starting on Thursday to prepare for the official Bixi rollout — April 15.

Officials with the bike share program are reminding drivers to be on the lookout for signage, as crews work to install Bixi stations around the city.

No parking signs will be posted 12 hours before installations.
