@Shelbyfern welcome to the forums! Please note that Fitbit trackers have a finely tuned algorithm for step counting. The algorithm is designed to look for intensity and motion patterns that are most indicative of people walking and running. On bumpy trails it's possible that your tracker will register steps but these should be negligible in your overall stats. 

 

If you'd like to negate those steps, then please follow the instructions by @EdsonFitbit on logging a driving activity. Hope this helps! Cat Tongue
