Inspire HR detecting steps during motorcycle ride

[Sherriel2]

How can I pause my fitbit when I ride my motorcycle.  The other day I got 18,000 steps...it seems dumb that riding a Harley on smooth pavement causes that many misread steps.

@Sherriel2 Welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here!

Let me help you with your Inspire HR is counting steps during your motorcycle ride. Your device will detect the movement on your arm and translate that movement into steps. There are situations in which your arm may move but you won't be actually walking. For example, this may happen when you are playing the drums, burping a baby or clapping. It can also happen while driving. You can negate these steps by logging a driving activity. You can try wearing your device on your non-dominant hand but select that hand as dominant on the device’s settings to make it less sensitive to movement.

Let me know how it goes.

There is no activity listed in exercises for driving.

Never mind, I figured out what you meant.  That should work.  I will try that out this weekend. Thanks.

@Sherriel2 thank you for the update.

How did it work for you? Did you try the driving activity? This won't remove steps from Challenges so please be aware of this.

I look forward to your reply.
