Syncing my bike rides

[SunsetRunner]

I am brand new to the Fitbit so not sure how it all works. I do walk sometimes but  mostly I ride my bike. My Fitbit does not seem to recognize the rides though and I have to go to the dashboard each time and manually log it in. Isn't there a way to use GPS to follow my ride? Thanks!

Hi @SunsetRunner The Inspire shpuld recognise your bike rides assuming they are on an outdoor bike, but not on a stationary bike. Try restarting your Inspire several times and see how it goes next time you ride. Do you have an Inspire or an Inspire HR? If it is the HR the easiset way to track your rides is to use the Bike Exercise Shortcut. Let me know if you need help with that.

Restart your tracker

Also, yes I would like to know the bike exercise shortcut if you don't mind!

Thanks for your help!

Ok, on your Inspire HR on the clock screen, swipe down and select Exercise. Then swipe upwards to the different shorcuts and select bike. It is fairly self explanatory after that - you use the Inspire to start and stop the bike ride. If bike isnt one of the shorcuts that comes up you will need to add it in the app on your phone. To do that go to your account in the app and select Inspire HR. Then scroll down till you get to Exercise Shortcuts. If you have six already on your Inspire HR, delete one and then you can access the full list of them. Add Bike from that list.

Here is the link to the Inspire HR manual which should help you if you get stuck, but feel free to ask more questions here! https://staticcs.fitbit.com/content/assets/help/manuals/manual_inspire_hr_en_US.pdf
