exercise tracking using IOS app

[robbrigham]

I am having GPS issues with my blaze so I have started using the app to track exercise.... Only trouble is when you go through the app it only gives you the options Run, Walk and Hike. I want to cycle!

I have edited the exercise type once I have completed my exercise.

Is there a way to re-sync with Strava to show it as cycling, or is there way to add cycling to the fitbit app options?

Thanks and apologies if this has been answered in the forum!

Hello @robbrigham and welcome to the Help forums.  I don't use Strava, so I can't help you with your syncing question.  But I can explain a little about the run/walk/hike option.  That feature was introduced when Fitbits only counted steps, before the first GPS connected device and the algorithms for tracking cycling.  It is my observation that Fitbit doesn't seem to update old features when it introduces new features.  Sorry, but there is no way to add cycling to the Fitbit app tracking.

You should browse and search the Third-Party Integrations forum to see if anyone has found a workaround for your Strava question.

Thanks for confirming what I had feared.

I will look into getting the gps sorted on my blaze.
