FitBit's measurements of my Recumbent Bike activity do not come close to measurements of my Heart Rates, Mileage completed or speed.  Can "Bike" activity be modified to recognize stationary Recumbent Bike.  Surely the Heart Rate measurements should be comparable.  8 miles on Recumbent Bike comes off as less than 2 miles on FitBit.  Heart Rate measurements by FitBit are 20-60 points off at any one time.  Distance traveled per bike is 8.2 miles whereas FitBit records 2 miles or less.
