You can short sell but unfortunately (at least for retail, and to the extent of my knowledge) not trade options in the first week of trading for a newly listed stock. Which is a shame because I 100% would have bought puts in the first hours of trading when I saw the market price surge into the 80s. Lyft's float is pretty low volume so the surge of retail investors trying to add Lyft to their portfolios caused a mini bubble.
