Surge cycling goals

[Poohbear0069]

When is surge going to get some goals for keeping track of your cycling so annoying when I've been out for a 30mile + ride but look at my daily goals and everything is quite low so it looks like I've hardly done anything it would also be good for keeping track of how much miles you have cycled in the month or even the year without having to look at the individual workouts and adding them up

Why not have a daily calorie target as the main goal? I got fed up with cycling recording steps and distorting that but by having a calorie goal all exercise and even laying around is counted. I set mine at 3000, which with a BMR of around 1750 means it's easy a 5 mile walk or 25+ miles on the bike to get near it.

Yeah I suppose I could do that would be nice to be able to just check how far I've cycled in like a specific time period like you can with your steps though

It's a fair point though - I guess I hadn't worried about that side. I cycle every day and use the Polar app (with  a chest strap for decent HR capture) and that gathers totals of time, distance and calories, and best distance, speed, avg pace etc.

Thanks for the help I'll check out that app I've just started cycling I'm trying to lose weight I do a lot of walking I tried running but my heels weren't very good with the impact so I decided to fork out and buy myself a new bike loving cycling so far would be nice if Fitbit decided to make some goals for cycling as it's such a popular activity

Any fitness apps will track you, you don't have to use a chest strap either but its more accurate than the Surge and if I mount the phone to the bars I dont have to move my wrist to see the info every time. Lots of good apps out there - just do a seach but Strava, Endomondo, MyFitnessPal, MapMy RIde to name a few...
