Did anyone think it was that secure? If they hide the first 100 meters (or whatever) of your ride and you ride from home a lot there's going to be an obvious point which can be reached 100 meters from the start of every ride.

Not just Strava. Even off line, using your home location in any smartphone or GPS can have negative repercussions if the unit is lost or stolen.

It's a double edged sword though since an honest person might use your home location to return your lost device.
