It seems crazy that there is no option. I might try inputting walking as a tracked activity just so I can track the route and altitude etc. Will all the app updates there are, this hasn't been one of them
This a must. I have spent too much time to find out that a bike ride can't be tracked with gps, only, walk, run, hike. Please add bike to track excerise.
it's a shame this hasn't been added yet. i have purchased 2 fitbit products for myself and 2 more for friends/family. will not be supporting any longer if simple features are not added.
Yes! It's annoying cannot set cycling and get the track and stats for biking... I have to combine FitBit app with others to get a full set of stats. Please!
Please add this feature its not hard, since it uses GPS. Based on distance and pace through the app you can calculate stuff like calories burned, heart rate and etc. Another thing is that when you change the name of the exercise from Hike to Bike it doesn't count your miles or add your miles to your daily progress which makes no sense. If the essence of the fitbit environment is to get people motivated to move and exercise and to help them improve themselves. How can a person do that if the company's app won't count their activity in the form of cycling. Its a form of working out and helps those who suffer from knee problems that need something less impacting on the knees than running, so please fix that feature in the app to allow the miles that you do during cycling to count towards your daily miles and also to add it to mobileRun feature in the app.
Seems silly that so many people have asked for this and off all the times this app updates, cycling is still not an option. What's the point of this forum if no one listens to us??
Mobile Run allows me to use GPS tracking with my Charge HR. Can you add biking to the selections of walk, hike and run. I am using the run selection when I bike but some of the data is inaccurate.
Its been more than 2 and a half years since this thread was started and biking is still not an option on mobile run. Fitbit seems to really be listening to its customers.
Please add cycling!!! With the growth of cycling on both road and mountain, especially amongst middle age people it makes no sense not to be tracking, easily...Please add asap.
Why has this still not been added? I currently track using Google fit. Majority of other apps can do this, come on fitbit please get up to date. Or at least allow integration with Google fit.
There's an option on the app to add biking as an activity, but I usually don't remember when I started or how long I went.
Could you add an option to track it with the app? Then it could also tell you km's traveled and speed, and it would be more accurate with calorie burn.
Right now the only options are walk/run/hike. But I would love to see an option to track biking soon.
