(I have no idea about your Uber/Lyft question. In fact, I have never even used one.)
Handlebar bag and long seat back aren't really an option. My handlebar has a Garmin, GoPro, and light. Seat post has my Varia radar/light/camera.

Now and then I kick myself over selling my touring bike, a custom built Romic frameset, triple crank, bar end shifters, front and rear Blackburn racks. If I were going to buy/build something up, I would go with a steel frame. I'm not crazy about bolting / clamping things onto carbon - too much time spent repairing damage on race car suspensions.
I've never used Uber or Lyft either, and I can't seem to get the question answered by them. I'm pretty sure a taxi would do it, but they are becoming extinct, it seems.
