Active Minutes while riding a bike

ANSWERED

When I go out for a bike ride, I'll set my Fitbit blaze to bike. Once I finish my ride which is usually over an hour, fitbit only records my ride as 26 minutes of activity. How does fitbit figure what is an active minute?

 

Thanks

Royal

Activity has to last at least 10 minutes at first and be at 3 MET's. Resting is 0 MET's, so you have to be biking pretty fast to get up to 3 MET's.
