I have done a couple of cycle rides with the GPS - it is well over.  Today I did a ride 52.1ks (measured accurately on my Garmin) average speed 25.3.  My Fitbit tells me 65.58ks - average speed 30.5ks- ? any answers.  I notice my walking distances (which are also syncronized to my smart phone) are well over what the actual distance is.  Answers?

Hi there @BrudyW. Welcome to the Fitbit Community! 🙂

I'd just like to make sure that whenever you track a bicycle ride you're using the "Bike" exercies from your Blaze before you start your exercies. Using the Exercise shortcuts will help give the most accurate data based on the type of activity that you're performing so just make sure to start tracking it and see if this gives you better results next tie.

If this is how you've been doing it, I'd recommend restarting your tracker by pressing the left and lower right buttons for 10-15 seconds and this will make your tracker to turn off and turn back on.

Hope this helps and let me know if you need more help!
