Blaze bike recording

[TCFITTER]

Can the Blaze record stationary cycling activity when strapped on your wrist? Your ankle?
How does it track cycling on the road?

Seems like you would still get your distance as long as you are using your gps on your phone. And if you use the estimate of approx 2000 steps per mile you can assume you would have walked that amount if you were walking and then manually add that to your blaze. Idk I like to see my steps but really you know if you worked out whether it be biking or something else so it still counts.

Many thanks.

Hi Erick,

I can't seem to figure out how to turn on the gps for tracking my biking miles. It has it for my runs so I am pretty confused. Please help

[Bevster]

The gps is on your phone. Both devices need Bluetooth. Both need to be taken on the ride.
My phone is in my pocket and they sync well.
The rest is done on the Fitbit. Go to bike press start.
Check it's connecting to phone. Off you go.

I have the fitbit app on my phone and I have my phone connected to the fitbit blaze using Bluetooth, but when I start a ride it isn't recording the mileage.  Is there a step I'm missing?

Thanks,

I had trouble similiar to this and it had to do with my power saving mode on

Mext tome @phatkicker check the phone icon on the Blaze, if it is red the the tracker lost the gps connection. 

Has the phone been restarted yet?

Do you have Fitbit Notifications running? Since your asking about a phone, can we be enlightened as to thr model?

[Shaylie]

I have and iPhone 6s. The god works great for my runs but doesn't work for when I am biking.

@Shaylie on your Blaze go to the.Bike screen. Tap the sett8ngs gear, turn on GPS. Now start tye recording.

Sorry but I just gave trying to record anything when biking as I am not
biking that much. I am more into walking and running. Cheers.

 I know in the past I could choose bicycling and my GPS would come up. Now it doesn't. Was there an update that change that

[cmurph127]

I do not see any option under exercise for hiking or yoga as you had mentioned.  Also how to I use the GPS Connect?  Just got my Blaze and trying to figure things out

[Rich_Laue]

@cmurph127 from your dashboard,  click or tap on the picture of your tracker found in the top right corner, niw ooen the Exercise shortcuts,  remove what you don't want, add what you want, arrange them in the order you want. Exit and wait for tye tracker to sync.

For tye GPS start up an exercise like walk, run, hike, or bike, the Blaze should connect to the phones gps.

Hi, does anyone know how long the battery last when going for very long cycling trips? ie: 7 hours cycling using gps, thanks!

My blaze battery lasts several days. The GPS does not seem to cause greater battery use as far as I have noticed. I have never done 7 hours but have done 3-4 days before I have to recharge it.

On my blaze tracking i can only choose walk run hike. How did u get bike. I mainly ride and its driving me crazy

[Baltoscott]

@Huddo1903 - Make sure to start the exercise from the Blaze (not your phone, which can only start and track the three activities you mentioned).  If biking is not on the list of exercises you can choose from on your Blaze, you will have to add it in settings on your phone or computer app then sync to get it on the list of available exercises on the Blaze.
