These bikes are definitely going to eat into the number of uber rides. It's happened to me personally where I compare the time an Uber ride would take vs a bike and I end up choosing the bike. Interestingly this weekend I ended up choosing an electric scooter over a bike.These things are going to be used in a continuum depending on the situation, especially for younger people in urban environments.

I did the exact same thing. Those electric scooters are also a lot more fun than sitting in someone's Prius. Especially as the weather here in DC warms up, I can see myself shelling out the $2 fee for a bike/scooter way more often than I'd be willing to spend $8-10 for a Lyft.
