There have been known instances of bike thieves using such data to target homes that potentially have expensive bikes in the garage.

This is one reason why Strava allows you to off-set a staring location to mask when you start from home.

Been using that feature since day one...and I upload my commutes only to Strava because of that feature. Plus, I have 2 large dogs, and I've never paid over $350 for a bike, so I don't think I'm going to be much of a target.
