Went for a 30 minutes bike ride and it detected a short walk. It doesn't seem to let me input anything manually to correct this. Yesterday it detected my bike ride, but not the whole duration. My second day using it.

@Wolf-B Welcome to the Fitbit Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

 

Since it auto recognized the bike activity as walk, try editing the name to Bike by doing the following: 

 

- Go to the Fitbit app 

- Tap on the Exercise tile > Select the Walk activity

- Choose the pencil icon at the top and enter "Bike" instead 

 

Also, try lowering to 10 minutes the exercise recognition, check out this article for full instructions. 

 

Hope this helps.
