Re: afternoon and evening bike rides

[Guest guest]

I rode my bike to and from mom's house for dinner. It 13.2 mile round trip

How in the world did I ever get above you on the leader board?

Question for you... do you get many steps with riding? Just wondering if moving your legs would count even though you're sitting.

Awesome as always .

angelica has told me that biking does not give us any step count.

i havent had the chance to ride my new bike yet at all (because

of the stupid windy weather) but when i do i will wear my HRM so

i can at least get a cal burn figure for it. i might try

wearing the fitbit on my ankle and see what it happens, but it

probably wont do anything...

Hi ,LOL! You'll be ahead of me for a while. I tend to drop back down if I'm cycling to work instead of walking. Plus, last week I didn't do my usual long Friday walk. 

The only steps I get from cycling are from getting off and walking. I might get a few if I stand on the pedals to power up a hill, but none when I'm sitting. My bike fits really well, so my hips don't move around when I'm pedaling, and my fitbit is on my waistband.

Hope you're having a great day!

I hope you get to ride soon! Yep, the Fitbit doesn't give an accurate calorie burn for cycling, so I use my HRM for that.Hmm, interesting idea wearing it on the ankle. You're always thinking!

Now that I think about it I believe I've asked you this before lol. Sorry about that. My mind hasn't been to clear for a while now. That's crap that doesn't count your steps because your legs sure are moving.

Thanks for letting me be in the drivers seat (so to speak) for a while on the leader board lol.

LOL! Yep, my legs sure are moving. It's totally cool, though. At least it sees it as " very active " minutes, so that's cool. My main interest here is seeing how my calories in/out compare.
