$LYFT According to reports from Reuters, Lyft Inc is removing all of its on-demand electric bicycles from public use in New York, Washington, D.C. and the San Francisco Bay area after riders reported braking issues. "We recently received a small number of reports from riders who experienced stronger than expected braking force on the front wheel. Out of an abundance of caution, we are proactively removing the pedal-assist bikes from service for the time being," the company said in a blog post.
