My Series 5 apple watch does not have an activity selection for the recumbent bike. So my riding 'distance' is not recording in the Health app. How do I manually "add" the distance to the health app so it appears in my summary? Or, does anyone know what activity setting I could use that 'would' record my distance riding the recumbent bike? None seem to work. Thank you for any help you can give me.
Apple Watch
Thank you for attempting to help me with my question. I have used indoor cycling on my Apple watch series 5 hoping to measure distance but it does not measure distance, just calories etc. I was hoping that one of other workouts would but all that I've tried do not. The recumbent bike is my choice of cycling due to low back problems. My main question is "how do I add" miles to my health app so I get credit for the miles I ride (as shown on the equipment/the bike)? Prior to Series 5, I was able to "add" to the health app. Without the ability to do so now, my readings are not even close to accurate in terms of activity. It is a frustrating problem.
However, I do much appreciate the information that you sent to me. Thank you.

Hey CartinR,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I definitely want to make sure you're able to get credit for, and track the distance you ride! I am happy to provide some information.
I want to share the resource below with you, that goes over workout types, the "Cycling" Section is where I hope you'll find some helpful information.
Thanks again, and have a great day!
Thank you thank you thank you. I will test out today. I so appreciate the photos telling me where to "add data"--You are the best. Thanks so much! Have a great day.
