Why wont my flex 2 track my cycling. It tracks my bike rides as a walk even though I have my fitbit round my ankle. Today I rode 22.5 miles, over about 2 hours  but it only logged 4.3 miles as a walk. I have tried turning  on gps tracking but it wont for bike. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Cycling is not step based so it will never track it correctly. It will still capture some steps but not all.

I would manually log it

 

The GPS is on your phone so I dont see why it will not work because it is separate from the Flex
