I think it is rather pathetic to require people to get the Surge to register cycling -- I guess I will put it in my pocket -- but you guys should be ashamed of this approach to sell more product -- time to look at Apple Watch I think

lol, stupid me using an ionic and being on a flex forum. I blame not reading the internet search result properly.
Ionic doesn't do a great job. 😛

So you can’t actually track it on the app, but my Fitbit Alta tracks when I go on bike rides even if my tracker is on my wrist. So you can track it, but really only after your bike.

Actually its not solved by hip pocketing the bit. You need to record both heart rate and pedal revolutions.
What if I could put it on my ankle or lower calf under the sock? The part of me that moves with each pedal revolution. The calf and ankle are much larger diameter than the wrist though.
I happened to have replaced the watch band for this fit bit charge 2 before and retained the side with the buckle, this piece:
I had seen airlines accommodate very large passengers with a seat belt extender like this:
Why not fashion such an extender with the extra band/buckle part allowing me to extend the band on the fit bit like so:
and then fit the expanded band fitbit onto my lower calf above the ankle like so:
You can make one too!

Get the large band and keep on your ankle. Tracks steps and heart rate.

There is no 'LOG' & also no 'Activities' on my Fitbit so this advice is hopeless.

I have a fairly old Flex2-my Flex broke down due to old age so got the Flex 2 as I swam a lot before covid arrived!! anyway, I wear it on my wrist and it records my cycle rides, hula hooping and walks etc with out any problem-unless I have forgotten to charge it up of course!! I love it, get movement reminders on the odd occasion I have not done enough steps in an hour-usually at lunch time when I extend break to have a read!! It is really good- I didn't want to do heart rate etc, just general step type movements and it does the job great. xx

This is how I’ve done it for years and it’s worked fine. But now that I have a Charge5, it doesn’t register the fulfillment of 250 steps on the app like it use to. I get step credits and the Fitbit shows fulfillment of 250/hour, but the App doesn’t show the fulfillment. The two are out of sync.
