An idea we had for new badges is total street count. e.g. your first 100 streets, 1000 streets, 10k streets. Seems relatively few people have over 10k streets so would be a pretty solid goal.

i like this. i have previously suggested the first person to log a road, then 10, 100, etc etc which is kinda similar in rewardign the number of completed streets
parkrun has their milestones at a (roughly logarithmic) progression of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000. Seems like sensible benchmarks for streets run at CityStrides.

This is one of the ~30 badge ides I’ve got written up 
with a lot of the ideas coming from Badges for milestones
There’s also a whole “leveling” system that’s in place and functioning, I just haven’t gotten around to displaying it yet. So, the International Badge currently has levels for each country past your second (if your country count is 7, then your badge level is 6).
The badge name I have in mind for this is “Street Sweeper” (though that name might go to the streak-based badge I have in mind since “Street Streaker” doesn’t sound nice at all) and its level system will either be a new level every e.g. 10 streets or levels at e.g. 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, + streets.
At the moment, I kind of like the idea of a runaway level number by leveling up every 10 streets. The current global leader would be level 3,629 … The CHAOS

Hahah that’s a lot of levels. I think MechanicalTim’s Parkrun logarithm makes sense. We can’t let those filthy Londoners with 35,000 streets DOS the side by generating all those badges.

Oh, if it changes your mind, there’s one badge which has a level value that increments. So it would appear in text as e.g. “The International Badge (Level 7)“ and in the list of icons I might be able to add the level number over the image or something.
Ah yes, an ever increasing level makes a lot of sense. I think you could do every 100 streets, but you’d know better what the histogram of total streets for all runners looks like.
