Steps Recorded While Tracking Bike Ride

[Lanius]

I was bought an Inspire HR for father's day last weekend, so I'm very new to it. It may be that I've missed an obvious setting but I have an issue where my 'steps' are far higher than they should be on a day due to the app not correctly discounting steps during a period of execise.

For reference, an image of my app data can be seen here: https://imgur.com/a/fIJocZu

This clearly shows the issue, which I'll describe below.

On my timeline of steps across the day, there is a consistent period of 90 minutes where the steps are higher than at any other part of the day. This period adds thousands of steps to my daily total.

However, below the graph, there is the activity log, which then details a bike ride and steps show (correctly) as N/A.

The app knows the time I started the bike ride (I manually selected to start exercise on my device), the duration, and the fact that I should not have been recording steps persumably as I was riding.

I understand from some other posts that rough ground could cause errors with step count, however I don't understand why these are not just immediately disgarded considering I'm in an exercise period being tracked by GPS.

Have I set something up incorrectly? Or if not, is there a setting I need to change to prevent any steps being recorded while on a bike ride?

@Lanius It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community!

Let me help you with your with bike rides counting steps. 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.

I have a Versa 3.  I think the original point if being in a manually started exercise activity (e.g. biking) should disregard steps.  The reply says "driving activity" specifically?  So it works for that but not other activity?  Logging steps while cycling is highly undesirable.
