Ride-sharing company Lyft is preparing to integrate bike and scooter sharing services into its mobile app. The company recently acquired bike-share company Motivate as part of moves to help bridge the "first and last-mile gap" and reduce the number of cars on the road. It has set a target to increase the number of shared Lyft rides from 35% now to 50% by 2020, and to take a million cars off the road by the end of next year. In addition to offering bikes for hire, Lyft's app will also allow users to rent out their own bikes, which can be picked up at any docking station in San Francisco.
