Along these lines some cyclists have had their gear stolen by thieves who figured out where they live from Strava data.
They have a feature to block part of your route when near your home but some folks aren’t aware of it (or learn the hard way)
- nickff 2y agoThat feature is fairly recent, and I believe it is now enabled by default.
- hondo77 2y agoIf by "is fairly recent" you mean "has been around for over six years", yes.
- xarope 2y agoIsn't it only a few 100 yards worth? So thieves can still camp out in a 1 square mile area to find that nice carbon fiber bike at 5am in the morning?
- loeg 2y agoYou can select a radius of 1/8 to 1 mile.
- mariusor 2y agoFrankly the blocking is a radius around the start and stop points. If they are both at your doorstep, all your rides will extrapolate to points on a circle with a center very easy to determine. The feature as it is, is snake oil for someone determined enough. I started to start and stop my rides some distance out, just to add some variation.
- loeg 2y agoThe hidden address feature picks a random centroid near your hidden address, not exactly on it. Averaging out the circle finds that random centroid, not your hidden address.
