Personally, I've made the decision not to give that information (well, any more info than my phone already gathers). I won't wear a fitbit or any other fitness tracker.

I used to ride road bikes quite a bit and would frequently track distance, cadence, average speed, HR etc. on my rides. Then sometimes I would leave the bike computer at home and just go out and ride. I found it liberating to go out and just enjoy the ride and not focus on the stats.


Do you carry a cellphone while riding?

The same tracking (absent heart rate) is at work behind the scenes. Google Maps, Cellular, WiFi roaming, and more are sharing your info with carriers and Apps. It can be turned off, of course, but few people do that.
