I didn't read the article then, I haven't read it now, and there's absolutely nothing in the OP to indicate that the Strava file was from an innocent who happened to cover the same route.
I wasn't aware that every single post on the forum needed to be diligently fact-checked before posting a response-- because that's obviously what everyone else on here does.

In the same vein, you could perhaps perform a cursory grammar check before perpetuating the notion that people on forums can't be bothered to spell, or use even 8th grade grammar.
It's good to see that at least this thread has a self-appointed diligent arbiter of truth. Comforting.

But grammar mistakes don’t ruin lives. Perpetuating rumors and then proudly stating that you are going to continue in your ignorance isn’t a good look.
But sure, call me out on grammar.

I happily defer to the Arbiter of Truth®. I recommend you branch out to other, more accessed forms of social media in your quest to defend The Truth®.

And there you go with your usual trolling.
What I do for a living often puts me into an oppositional relationship with people of questionable mental health and/or violent tendencies, many of whom live in my immediate home area. You're damn straight I don't care to make my riding habits too easy to find online. As far as security settings, I'm pretty sure I'd screw those up from time to time, and would rather not have to worry about it.
I know there's some risk to riding out in public, there's nothing crazy about avoiding something of very limited benefit that makes that risk any higher.

Ohh wait, maybe you aren’t.
Considering that every waitress or bartender in the world is potentially in an ‘oppositional relationship with people of questionable mental health’ every day of the week. People that are also quite often drunk.
How do they manage to keep all those fitness tracker stalking episodes out of the news every day?

Ofc you are special and at a higher risk than the average person.

I worked in the restaurant industry for a long time.
Servers and especially bartenders get threatened more often than you would think.
It is not easy telling a drunk customer that you are refusing to serve them anymore.
They are embarrassed and insulted and quite often will wait outside to try and confront you.

You have been the target of a cyber stalker and just didn’t feel like mentioning it so instead you just implied that your line of work puts you at risk
