I am all for privacy to a degree that inconveniences me often. However, I can’t help but think that I can go to anyone’s house and instantly know where they live if I’m not that picky on who I find. What difference is there between that scenario and one where you additionally have an arbitrary (and fairly sparse) account associated? The best I could guess would be if an expensive bike is listed? It seems there are more efficient ways to find bikes to steal. Honest question.

My bike is a piece of crap so I'm not too worried about that. I think it's more likely to enable stalkers and road rage. e.g. a situation where someone is too anxious to ask for that cute jogger's number so they wait outside her house to chat her up the next day Or I ask someone doing squats in the middle of the bike path to move out of the way, and then they get mad and murder me in my sleep. Those are both definitely low probability events, but I think that users should be able to make an informed decision before their personal data is shared with strangers
