Did this ever happen? I was just in Boston for a few days and didn't see helmet dispensers. I tried out one of the Hubway bikes while there, just out of curiosity, but it didn't appear they had helmets for rent (I felt naked without one on). There was signage indicating that there are places around the city where people can buy helmets at a reduced cost. It does seem like the program is popular--there were lots of people out and about on the bikes and I saw one station that was almost empty in Cambridge.
