    Happy Bike to Work Day! 🚲 Yesterday, our CEO shared how he bikes to work on a Lyft bike as often as possible. And at Lyft, we’re celebrating by making it Bike to Work Month *ALL* May long! Lyft Urban Solutions runs our bikeshare systems like NYC's Citi Bike, Chicago's Divvy, and DC’s Capital Bikeshare. All three have ride discount codes for today, May 15.

    It’s Bike to Wherever Day in the Bay Area, and at Lyft we celebrate Bike to Work Week all month long. I’m very into this. I bike to work on a Lyft bike every day I can, and it puts a huge grin on my face. Fresh air, a little movement, and zero traffic stress. 450 rides and counting! Three things you probably don’t know about Lyft and bikes: 📍We operate the largest bikeshare network in North America - Citi Bike in NYC, Divvy in Chicago, Bay Wheels here in SF, Capital Bikeshare in DC, and more. Citi Bike is the largest but SF is growing the fastest-- we hit an all-time high yesterday, thanks to all the new e-bikes 🛠️ Speaking of San Francisco, we design our bikes at our studio right here in our own back yard. They’re best-in-class, and protected by over 150 bike system patents. They have to be: riders clocked over 125 million miles on them last year! Here’s a look behind the scenes: https://lnkd.in/gSH6kBFt 🥸Each e-bike sports my favorite Lyft secret: hundreds of tiny mustaches on their handlebars. That’s right: a true handlebar mustache. See you out there 🚲

    Technology doesn't erase human skill—it clarifies which skills matter most. Meet Jonathan Baines, a Lyft driver since 2016, who recently transitioned to Lead Fleet Operations at Lyft’s first AV depot in Nashville. His story showcases how drivers' people skills, local knowledge, and grit are also proving invaluable off the road. https://lnkd.in/gmHrV6vP

    Take Our Kids to Work Day 2026 was a total blast! We spent the day: 🎨 Dreaming up new ways to move with our arts & crafts projects 🛠️ Building together by creating our own Lyft cars 🚀 Teaching the next generation about what’s to come in tech and transportation We also partnered with Children's Rescue Fund, which was an incredible way to give back beyond TOKTWD. Check out some of our favorite moments from the day. It’s safe to say Lyft's future workforce looks pretty bright (and involves a lot more face paint).

    The Lyft community has a habit of showing up for each other, but this takes it to a whole new level. We’re incredibly moved by Jose's story and proud to have a culture where people show up in a life-changing way.

    My Kidney Transplant Journey ❤️ 11 years. Seven as an employee, four before that behind the wheel as a driver. #lyft has been a massive part of my life, and today I want to share something bigger than anything I've experienced in all that time. A few months ago, at just 32, I was diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease. I've been on dialysis since then, still working full time, waiting and hoping for a transplant that would save my life. That moment is finally coming. I will be getting a kidney transplant soon & the person making that happen works right here at Lyft with me. Lyft has always talked about community and showing up for each other. My donor didn't just talk about it, she lived it in the most literal way imaginable. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens when a company builds a culture where people genuinely care about the humans next to them. I've felt that for eleven years, and I've never been more proud to work here than I am right now. My donor signed up through a kidney exchange program, and because she raised her hand, I will receive a kidney that saves my life. What she is doing goes beyond generosity, it's the kind of selfless act that changes how you see people. To my donor: you are giving me a future. You are giving me my life back. I will never take that lightly. If this story moves you, I ask one thing: look into living kidney donation. There are over 100,000 people on the transplant waiting list right now. Getting tested costs you nothing, but for someone waiting, it could mean everything 💚 #lyft #kidneydonor #Kidneytransplant #Kidneydisease

    Gen Z is one of the most talked-about audiences in marketing, but most of what we know about them comes from what they do on screens. What’s missing is what happens in between. Lyft data shows Gen Z shows up in the real world more than expected. They make up 24% of riders but account for 28% of rides, often heading to restaurants, nights out, and events. These aren’t passive moments. They’re the time right before something happens, when plans are set but decisions are still being made. And inside the ride, this audience pays attention:  • 78% to 90% video completion rate • Higher engagement across formats • More activity late at night and on weekends This is a different kind of media moment. It’s tied to where people are going and what they’re about to do. We break it down in our latest insights report. Explore the full breakdown: https://lnkd.in/eTYxxuNt Source: Internal Lyft Data, January - December 2025 #MobilityMedia #GenZ #LyftAds
