What is a strider? On my home page under the progress bar it says “37 striders”. Is that how many people are using city strides in my city? Cheers ---

A Strider is a word I came up with to refer to someone who uses CityStrides. 🤷‍♂️ I’m not super consistent in using it everywhere in the site, and I haven’t checked to see if it resonates with people. I haven’t seen others use the phrase, so I’m assuming it doesn’t. ---

I for one like it! I use it super frequently 🙂 ---

I love the term! However I am a bit confused as to how it works and I think it is a UX thing. If I go to town X, to look at how many streets I have completed, I can look at Striders. Does this just mean here is a list of Striders who have run through this town? In town X, strider ABC had 6.0%. In town y, strider ABC had 99.06%. ---

Exactly. It’s a list of anyone who has completed a street in that city. Each person has their own percentage complete for each city they’re running. That percentage complete is what’s displayed in that list of Striders. ---

> [@petje](#): > > Makes me proud being a strider! Me too! I’m very new, but getting hooked. I wonder if @JamesChevalier has considered selling t-shirts with the CS logo on them? I recently started doing [Parkrun](https://www.parkrun.com/)s, and they offer (to buy) t-shirts when you hit milestones (number of runs). I’m looking forward to getting the e-mail that says I’m eligible to buy. I would seriously consider a CityStrides (tech fabric) T. PS. Could not find a good link on Parkrun re: Ts, but did find this: [https://www.parkrun.com/news/2019/07/31/milestone-t-shirts-back-on-track/](https://www.parkrun.com/news/2019/07/31/milestone-t-shirts-back-on-track/) ---
