Activate the Cycling exercise type when you start. If it's not among your 7 exercises on the Surge, you can use the app to delete an exercise type you don't use and replace it with Cycle.

Surge does a good job with mileage, time and route (via GPS). However, it fails to record an accurate heartrate for me, which gives the result of very few minutes of active exercise. For example, yesterday I did a 60 mile bicycle ride, with 3100 feet of vertical climbing. The surge recorded my aveage heartrate as <65, with active minutes of 11. On the otherhand, my Garmin 705 GPS, wearing a chest-strap, showed my average heartrate as 99. Btw, the same thing happened on my last two rides. Any ideas?

I can't work out how to do this. when you say you can adjust your settings on the app, is it the iphone app, or on the fitbit dashboard on my laptop?

How does one de-activate an exercise and add cycling? I can't find that anywhere!

Any luck in figuring this out? The surge must use HR for base calculation of calories burned instead of distance and speed since on my latest ride (54km) I apperently only burned 478km and my average HR was 85bpm.
Dunno if moderator can follow this link but here is the workout:

Bottom line is the surge cycle setting is good for pace, distance and time but NOT for HR OR Calories. Based on rough calculations I should have burned 1800+ calories during the ride.

I had this problem for an age regarding HR, for some reason I solved it by wearing the Surge on my other wrist and wearing it very tight. It now tracks my Polar HR chest strap pretty much accurately aside rapid falls or rises in HR and is within a few beats of the average over a couple of hours. Also the calorie count of say 1500 on the Polar deviates by only a few tens on the Surge.
