Hi.

 

I recently started using my bike for commuting instead of my car, and I noticed that my step count seems too high for the amount of walking I've done. I have the FitBit app connected to MapMyRun and MyFitnessPal, so I thought that my biking would overide any accidental steps in that time frame. Is my One recodring steps while I'm biking or am I just paranoid? And if it is recording steps, is there a way for me to pause it while I'm biking?

It will pick up some but it wont be accurate.

 

You could use an app on your Phone called DriveBit and it will erase the steps for you.

 

Or enter a driving record manually

Most bikers want the steps.
