If you know enough about how to use tech and how to attempt to evade it, I kinda feel like you would know a bike share is a bad idea. Even without the perps phone, You now have a GPS log of the bike location, so you have a way to track the route, and scour video along the way. You can potentially see the direction the bike renter came from on a camera in the area, and perhaps unmasked.
Now, if they had done what you suggested, they basically have everything they need to trace the phone back to origin(home, activation location if it's a burner). And if the perp had another phone on them, you can match locations of the burner phone to the one moving with it, and track that one.
And if the bike was stolen, well it was probably still tracking location and that could be tied to the cell signal that moved with it.
If you are going to do this in a big city with cameras and cell towers that can locate you, your best bet is zero technology on person. Tech will rat you out.
