Track Cycling on Mobile App with GPS

[SunsetRunner]

What would be a great addition to the mobile app would be the ability to track cycling as well as the run, walk, hike options.

And also let us Android users get it, please.

[cmascotti]

I think it would be great if cycling was added. It would be nice if it just tracked distance and speed and gave an estimate of calories burned (just like run but without steps).

[ANGChief09]

I'm on board too. Please add cyclone to the app ASAP. Many if us bike to avoid the added stress that running does to our bodies.

[Kpers]

I agree! Biking routes are great to track too!

[KenwoodFan]

I totally agree.  I was so excited when I saw my fitbit app incorporated GPS.  I went to meet my friends and announced my fitbit app now tracks cycling.  Silly me, I should have checked to see that it actually did beforehand.  

Would you PLEASE incorporate cycling into your app!!!!!

[MattGumbley]

Yes, it's excellent. It would be even better if you could log runs on treadmill. It doesn't start tracking since I'm not moving about.

[Yudzz88]

Agree. Also, it would be great to automatically delete counted steps during cycling period. My flex counted 12000steps for 3 hours cycling. My road was kinda bumpy that day! 😛

I would really like to have MAP my Ride synch with my Fit bit... then there could be an estimation of my calories and an a "step equivalence" recorded

[Cristi]

Great feature to have implemented. 

[daTamsta]

I like the walk/run/hike GPS function.  Next - With the GPS function can biking be one of the options to track distance, time, pace and therefore calculate a calorie burn?  This would be in lieu of "steps" during this recorded activity. 

[Cristi]

Would be a great adition!

[DormCat]

I agree

[RascoMon]

Must have feature since most competitors in this industry has it.

[kelliann1]

Agree. I attach the Zip to my shorts leg so I end up counting the up and down motion while cycling. I can't enter manually - I have absolutely no idea what the pedaling would convert to in terms of steps. It measures the distance wrong - tells me I went 1.5 miles when I cycle 26 miles. So that's useless. I have to use Bike Brain for distance and that runs my phone battery down if it is a long ride so I am at 10 percent battery at the end. I carry a charger but often can't keep the phone connected to it while the bike is moving. I need the phone because I am often on the trail alone for miles and if I need help, I need the phone!

Thus needs to happen.

[2bike]

Or Garmin Connect\device interface!

[SunsetRunner]

Yep, use the GPS in every smartphone, as part of the app to track virtually any zero impact activity - cycling, kayaking, skiing.

[gvinnola]

In the app, in the Exercise option with GPS tracking I would like to have an option to track my Bike ride, currently the options are Walk Run and Hike. The GPS actually is great to hear my split times etc, I just would like to track it as a Bike ride rather than a Run, since I do like to Run as well.

[SunsetRunner]

I ride a bike every day and it would be very useful feature for me. Add this please 🙂

[Shansen]

I'd also like to see a bike option.

[tm406]

Ditto for me. The tracking capability is awesome. Adding a bike activity to the choices would make it complete for me.

[gvinnola]

Since three of us want the option, maybe a few more could add their support for this!

[craySC]

The new exercise tracking feature is great for running, hiking, and walking, but not for cycling. Adding a cycling option to it would be ideal. Right now, I track a long bike ride as a run to get speed and distance, which I then Log manually as cycling and then delete the run.

[Jeroen]

Me too please, but for now I will use the Strava / Garmin to Fitbit sync option 🙂

[MrBear]

Great idea - I want to ride my bicycle i want to ride my bike 🙂
