Since I am not very satisfied about my flex 2, because counting steps while  biking. I wonder if any type of fitbit exists that doesn't count the steps. Or on which I can select biking befor I start exersice by bike.

Or do I wish something that I can not buy?

@SunsetRunner  I think you will get the results you want with a Charge 2, Charge 3, Versa, or Ionic.  They all have an exercise app that will give you a GPS map (and distance) when you use it.  They also auto-recognize Outdoor Bike (no map or distance).  I looked over a bunch of my rides -- in the exercise details, they all say N/A for steps.

 

The auto-recognize for outdoor bike didn't work perfectly for me with my Charge 2.  If I rode, then took a break, then rode some more, I would get one part of my ride, but not the other.  The exercise app has a pause feature -- better results.

 

I hope this helps.
