How do i change gear for a specific exercise?

Hi all,

I have a 935 Forerunner I use for all my workouts.  For this question I'll stick with biking as it is related to my gear question.  I have several bikes, both road and mountain.  

The problem I'm having is the lack of a gear selection for a specific workout.  So, one day I might grab my Yeti MTB and go for a ride, and the next day I might grab my road bike and go for a road ride.  As far as I can find, I can only set one bike at a time to be my "default" for all cycling exercises.  And if I forget to change the default, then I may run into recording miles for my MTB on a road ride.  I have dug everywhere in the app, Garmin Connect, and google to try and solve this problem.  Am I missing a feature somewhere to assign certain gear to a certain workout?

Thanks in advance.

    Is there a response to this question?

    If I have two bikes, and the ride records using the Default, how do you switch gear after the ride is complete and uploaded to Garmin Connect?

    The change is made on Garmin Connect after your ride is synced. I do this all the time with shoes. I do not have a default configured because I rotate shoes almost every day.

    • Open the activity
    • Click on Gear: Add
    • If you already have a default selected, click on Gear then select your 2nd bike and deselect the default bike, or leave it if you rode both bikes

    Thank you. Quite logical. I did exactly that. I have two bikes for gear but when I click ADD, only the default bike appears in the list. Perhaps a bug?
