I’ve got a question about some of my activities (Work-Home) being flaged:
“ We have detected a problem with this activity
The activity may have been performed in a vehicle, marked with the wrong sport type or captured with a poor GPS connection. Remove the vehicle from the footage or change the sport type to resolve the issue. You can change the type to “Followers only” to view segment results.”

 

It’s the identical route I ride to work and in the evening in reverse home.This only happens on the way home. What could be the problem with it?

Are you saying you are logging e-bike rides as regular rides?  If so, please don’t.  Talk to whoever set up the challenge so they can make it allow e-bike rides.  I couldn’t say why only the rides home would be triggering the auto-flagging, but it may just be enough different than the ride to work to trip the AI analysis.  Maybe more uphill on the way home so efforts look more suspicious?  They take into a lot of different factors, so hard to say for sure what could be causing it.

If you post a link to the activity that is having the problem, we could take a look and see if anything jumps out at us.  It may be looking like you are riding an e-bike and logging it as a regular ride based on the analysis of the ride statistics (higher consistent pace, low heart rate, etc...).

For a group challenge at work we have to log our rides as normal ones so the system can count them.

 

I just wonder why not every ride I do is getting flagged, just the ones on the homeride. It makes no sense
