In NY Tampering With Physical Evidence is a crime. I don't know if there is any legal precedent related to destruction of electronic evidence, which finds it is legally considered physical evidence. I tend to doubt it and the courts and District Attorney aren't going to go outside the bounds of how the statutes are written.
Another possible charge would be Obstruction of Government Administration.
It's probably a moot point. If he deletes his ride information, it's probably still in existence somewhere on a Strava server and could be obtained with a subpoena.
