Could Strava lead to bike theft from your house?

I agree - while there MAY be some targeting of bikes - I generally think its opportunistic rather than planned, and when your luck runs out.....

 

I do get kind of nervous when standing outside the gate waiting for the GPS to get signal in the morning....

 

Besides.... Eddie has a nicer collection than me.....

SO WHERE DOES HE STAY AGAIN :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :whistling:  :whistling:  :whistling:

There is one Problem.

Thief will never know from one day to the next where i am going.

Unless he is following me!

I dont stay long enough for the Thief to find me.

IF THEY TRACKING YOU ON STRAVA THEY MUST REALLY WANT THAT BIKE

After that "other" thread, I think my Epic and Tarmac are safe, no thief will want to be seen dead walking around with a Spez.

....unless he also takes the helmet, gloves, shoes, socks, kit. That way no one will give him a second glance, as they will have made their minds up on the first glance..... :whistling:

So the poor people in the house where you start and stop 100m from your home are going to be the theoretical targets then... Don't you get on with them? :devil: :ph34r:

I also start my Strava on the corner of the next street over in front of the house of a box with whom I had a disagreement a few years back.[emoji48]

 

On the other point raised,seeing that a 'tik kop' can look straight into a GoPro when stealing a bike and not know WTF it is they would probably not know what strava is or know how to use it.

Cheers for the share, I had no idea these privacy setting excisted. 

 

I never start/stop my Strava at my door. I always ride at least a couple of blocks before I turn it on or stop it somewhere else.
