Private Strider Bot!?

I am in first place in the city I’m currently working on. There is a private strider in 2nd who is ALWAYS 3 streets behind me. This private strider has never pulled ahead of me to my knowledge. Are Private Striders sometimes fake accounts to increase my motivation!? If so it is working! I wish I knew who this was!

It’s probably you, logged in through a different service. I’ll see if I can dig up details for you to confirm… I’ll probably reply privately, to avoid any accidental info leaks.

I can’t believe you’re a one-man team! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support. (Although I will miss the competition :wink:) Thanks again!

A mate here in Brisbane had the same ‘challenger’ for a long time and he couldn’t figure it out…until he realised he was also competing with himself.

I have the same «issue». Private Strider always 1 street ahead. Not sure how I could be logged in from another service - any way to check this?

Yeah, I need your profile link (but https://citystrides.com/users/80883 looks like it might be it) and the link to the city. I can message you privately to confirm whether the private account is yours & I can merge them if it is.

That would be great!

OK, I need the link to the city. I can message you privately to confirm whether the private account is yours & I can merge them if it is.

Thanks a bunch!

I have the same issue, but the “private strider” is always 3-4 streets ahead of me in any city. I was thinking it was a bot as well. Could you check to see if it’s the same problem @JamesChevalier? Thank you!

Hi James. I think I figured it out. Somehow I made an account with my garmin data Nameless Runner - CityStrides and my other account is with strava https://citystrides.com/users/55298
