Moving time vs. elapsed time in Indoor cyxling

[Tata55]

I made 3 "indoor rides" today with a couple of pauses using the STOP button on my Garmin Edge 530. It was saved after the third ride.

The result in Garmin vs. Strava is:

Obviously, in Strava the elapsed time is used in avg. speed calculation. This is a horrible bug. E.g. if concentrating exactly on avg. speed during an indoor cycling, the record is totally useless.

Why the elapsed time is used in calculation instead of the moving time? It makes no sense.

This decision to use elapsed time as the moving time for indoor cycling is dumb. Is Strava doing this only because Strava prefers to use elapsed time on all indoor workouts? Why not give us a choice on how we want the duration calculated for some indoor workouts?

Hello @Tata55 

Thanks for posting about this.  For indoor activities, the Strava activity page shows elapsed time only.  For this reason, we recommend recording multiple activities in the scenario you have described.
