I am new to CityStrides/Strava, might be confused how this is supposed to work, but I am not getting any streets completed. If I view my profile in incognito it says “has not run at all, or is not sharing their activities.” but when logged in it shows them all and shows my overall path on the map so they seem not to be “missing” just private. I’ve verified Strava is set to public and I can even see some of my walks in incognito William Mountjoy | Strava Runner Profile. I’ve also checked my CityStrides privacy settings and it is set to “Everyone”.
I’m pretty sure that’s due to changes made to the site recently to comply with Strava’s new privacy rules. If you find a user who has connected with a tracker other than Strava, you can still see their activities. Just not Strava users’.
Others can still see the totality of what you’ve run/walked by looking at your LifeMap. Or at least, I can see other users’ LifeMaps even if I can no longer see their activities.

Thanks for your response, though bit confused how just listing what streets I’ve completed is more private than a literal map that shows them. Even in incognito it shows everywhere I’ve been at William Mountjoy's Map View - CityStrides
I will look into mapmyrun to see if that works better for me!
I’ve just completed a quick walk down a short road with mapmyrun which has already imported, I can see it now listed on my public profile page, but it still doesn’t have any street progress. William Mountjoy's activity on January 20, 2025 - CityStrides Being listed publicly is not my primary concern I just assumed that was the cause, I just want to see what streets I’ve completed.
Had you walked those roads before?
No streets completed might be because the one that is shown you walked has a twin (or multi-sibling) named street elsewhere in your city. But you would expect to see that street (and the one you partially walked) as a street progressed.
But if you’ve already walked them you won’t get any additional credit for this walk.
EDIT: I just looked at your LifeMap and I can see you have walked those streets several times already. So that’s why you have got no credit for this walk in terms of completed streets. They’ll already be included in your completed street count.
SECOND EDIT: I just looked at your profile and have a different understanding of your question - ie why you haven’t been credited with any streets at all. I am guessing, from what is shown as complete on your LifeMap, your joining date and the activities shown that you had completed most of your LifeMap before joining CityStrides. Your pre-joining data is reflected on your map but not your street count. That’s beyond my ken, but there are others who have reported similar issues on the forum. Probably needs some input from James.
Yes the road is one I walked before. I used to just walk the same few streets over and over, and used Samsung Health to log them. I don’t think there are any duplicate named streets in the same city.
I signed up for Strava and Citystrides at the same time beginning of this month, and only then started venturing further out so the large majority of streets walked were after. It doesn’t even show any are progressed.
My walks always starts down the same street, could that impact it? I can test a brand new road using mapmyrun tomorrow.
Edit: actually I tried mapmyrun with citystrides first and did a few walks like this one William Mountjoy's activity on January 3, 2025 - CityStrides but there were no streets completed then so I switched to Strava that same day and did this walk. CityStrides. Still no completion but I liked Strava better than mapmyrun so I kept using it.
Your walks starting on the same street won’t make any difference to the street count.
You will, however, make it obvious to anyone looking at your LifeMap where you live if you always started tracking at your front door. There’ll be a huge blob of purple there. So there is a reason to not start the tracker until you’ve reached new territory.
Fortunately I’m about to move, I will be more cautious in the future 
It seems you’re walking where there is no city, according to CityStrides. You have Apopka to the west, and Altamonte Springs to your east. That’s quite common in US, some places are just not part of a city, you ca nsee city limits by pressing the “Toggle CityMap” icon on the left side

Thanks! This definitely looks like the issue, luckily where I am moving is a proper city not the suburban sprawl I’m in now. Unfortunately the Toggle CityMap function is not available to non-supporters. Funny how neatly I am sandwiched between those two area!
Much smarter answer than my fumbling attempts. Didn’t occur to me…

Looks like the CDP Forest City would provide coverage there: Relation: Forest City (7896124) | OpenStreetMap
I’ll add it to the missing city list
Thank you!
Interesting - so any activity captured in, say Strava, prior to using CS will show up in CS. That makes sense. But are we saying those activities don’t count toward nodes / street counts? I believe nodes don’t show up on those pre-CS activities as if they are accounted for.
For new users - when connecting Strava (or others) did you see an immediate count for streets accomplished?
Everything you did in Strava before joining CS will get imported and counted the same way as what you do after that. No difference.

Adding to that, when new places get added to CityStrides e.g. when I add Forest City, everyone’s progress in that space will automatically get processed & their stats will get updated.
