Badges runners vs. cyclists

Hello, I think runners have a clear advantage compared to cyclists:

Running steps count in total steps, there is no alternative for cyclist (pedal strokes could count as steps).

Running steps / ascend count into new expedition badges, nothing like that for cyclists. Would it be possible to create expeditions for cyclists?

There is no alternative to a 15 km run badge worth 4 points, 60-70 km could be a new badge for cyclists.

There is a badge for an international running day, none for cyclists.

Cyclists have one badge that runners don't have::

From time to time there is an ascend badge.

Thank you for thinking about new badges and counting pedal strokes as steps.

There may be other ways to even out the badges, but some time back, steps were disabled for cycling activities due to erroneous step recording.

Steps are not gained in the following activities:

To request pedal strokes for badges or any other feature, suggest using the Share Ideas | Garmin site.

Or get a cheap Vivosmart 4, or earlier, watch and wear it in your sock. Lots of comments in the forums on doing this, so it's not unheard of.

A friend of mine has been doing that for getting her steps in the weekly challenge. And that;s one reason why I don't join the weekly step challenge.
