@Benje63   Things like this happen when the accelerometer senses patterns that it perceives as an activity.  My Fitbit once recorded a bike ride where the start coincided with me going over a long bridge.  Another user was folding laundry (it must have beeb very regular motion) and it got recorded as swimming.  If this only happened once, just delete that bike ride.  But I can imagine that I would get a bike ride if I had to cross that bridge regularly.  In that case, I would turn the bike auto-recognition off.  You can do this by tapping on your Exercise tile on your Fitbit app > tap on the Gear in the upper right > Outdoor Bike > toggle it to off.
