Add motorcycle ride to Manually Log Exercise list

[LegoSeller]

Riding a motorcycle adds a large number of steps. There is no way to remove these. The Riding activity was perfect at deducting steps, but it was removed. Please add back the Riding activity which was removed in February. Please fix the driving activity so it properly deducts steps. Off button is alternative. Last thread locked b4 I could reply.

The Driving activity is still available in the Android app, not sure about IOS.

Have you checked for an update to the Fitbit app?

Hello Gidio53. Thank you for responding. Was there a typo in your comment? Yes I agree the driving activity is still available in the app. My issue is that the Riding activity has been removed from the iOS app.

I will check for an app update nonetheless.

I just checked theiOS app. It needed an update to v4.47. The riding activity is still not available.

@LegoSeller 

Are you looking for Driving or Riding?  Your original post mentioned both.

The Driving activity will negate any steps that are recorded while riding your motorcycle, and will accomplish what you're looking to do.

Hello,

My problem is with both the riding activity and the driving activity, that is why I mentioned both.


1.
My problem with the riding activity is that it was removed in the current version of the FitBit iOS app: 4.47
2.
The driving activity still exists in this version of the app. However, it does NOT reliably remove the steps I gain whilst riding a motorcycle, as some other users have implied.

Therefore, in the current version of the app, I have no way to remove the steps I get whilst riding my bike, so I end each day with several thousand extra steps that I have not walked.

If only the device had a simple "off" button, this would not be a problem!
