I missed this article on Lyft's bizarre admission that they bought Motivate (big city #bikeshare operator) to sell taxi rides to bikers.
"We haven't done the job we need to do to make sure that every time a person rides the bike, they get welcomed into the Lyft ecosystem, and frankly, welcomed into the rideshare side of things"
You know, exactly the opposite of why people use bikeshare.
