Default activity settings - garmin connect

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi all,

I just took my new garmin 25 out for a ride and was wondering how to set the activity type on it / or in garmin connect. I rode 49 miles and it thought it was a run - it had me down as burning 3,800 calories! It seems silly that connecting a bike computer to garmin software assumes it's for a run.

Next, I'll try and get the connection to my cadence sensor going, but I see there's a post for that.

Thanks,

Same issue that I had today. I'd like to know the outcome as well.

Same here, I just smashed all the running course records on Strava along my ride haha... pretty annoying.

I believe that performing a reset of the device will force it back to cycling from running. The problem was introduced by the update process.

Doing a reset will wipe all your settings though.

Power on holding the two right side buttons down.
Release top button on first beep,
Release lower button on second beep.

Thanks, this worked for me. A bit of a pain though. I now need to try AGAIN to get the ant+ cadence sensor working. Hardly turn-key this new device.
