Cycling Exercise event recorded when cutting the grass

Fun one really. Was cutting the grass Saturday and the watch put me down for a 45 minute cycle event!

Was trying to figure out why it (the watch) thought I was on a bike and realized that I hold the lawn mower handle the same as a bike handle bar.

And you'd probably be getting high speed vibrations through your hands as you would while cycling too.

You're seeing this with "Move IQ", correct? It can make some interesting guesses at time! I keep it turned off.

yeah - the move IQ. Don't usually pay it much attention but first time seen it record a bike event itself. Showed some of the logic that must be being used to differentiate between types of event.

I’m an interloper with a Descent and not F5, but this amused me.

On move alert it always picks up that I’m walking when I walk the kids (4 and 6) to school. However when I walk home it consistently sees this as elipipitcal trainer. I’m not sure what this says about my normal walk. Maybe I have too much of a spring in my step after offloading the kids?
