Something I've thought about is to offer a modest reward for taking a bike from A to B, where the endpoints are determined by algorithm, or there are specified drop off points. This could be a form of income for the otherwise unemployable.

Likewise, litter of bottles and cans went way down in my home state when they created a 10 cent deposit.

In the Lime Bike app, some bike pins glow and if you ride them for more than 5 minutes you get a coupon. I assume they apply the incentive to areas with high density to encourage spreading the bikes out.
