When using the "Add exercise" app function, there are 3 exercises to choose - run, walk, hike.

I'd like to use Bike. I can't find a way to add that.

I'd also like to use the phone app to live track my map, speed, elevation (?), pace and heart rate.

 

Any suggestions?

Hello @rsamery and welcome to the Community.  The phone app feature you are using is an older feature called MobileRun.  Older, legacy model Fitbits don't have an Exercise app like your Charge 5 and MobileRun is the only way to do GPS tracking with them.  You should use the Exercise app on your Charge 5.  It has Bike, along with many other shortcuts.  Please see this section of the Charge 5 manual for more help.
