Overcounting steps

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Every time I ride my motorcycle, I get thousands of extra steps counted. The offical answer in the forums is to manipulate the data by manually going into the web app and adding a motorized vehicle exercise. This should supposedly deduct the steps from the time period you select. I've attempted this to no avail, as have other users.

 

Why hasn't fitbit done anything to address this issue?

 

Furthermore, doesn't FitBit, which insists on being connected to my phone by bluetooth and knows my current speed deduce that I'm clearly not walking? Every android and iPhone has done this since the inception of step counting.

This manual manipulation might be better if I could add the 'motorcycle exercise' to my exercise list on the bike, essentially turning off step counting for an elected period of time rather than later trying to remember how many minutes I was on my bike. This could also appear in a feature to simply disable step counting.
