First things first, create or change a profile for each of your activity types. Each profile can be assigned a different bike or any other activity. This can be helpful in many ways, here are several reasons why. If you have multiple bikes, you'll need different wheel circumference values setups for each bike in order to correctly calculate speed and distance. In addition, multiple profiles allow two riders who differ in weight, age and gender to share a bike, so Cyclo can more accurately calculate the calories of each cyclist.

To edit the default profile:

1. Open the Settings menu
2. Choose Profiles
3. If Default has been selected, click the edit icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
4. Change the name, date of birth and other values

A verified profile cannot change the type again, as this affects your historical data. You can create a new profile to change the type.

The routing can be customised for each type.

To edit the route planning:

1. Open the Settings menu
2. Select Routing
3. Select the type of routing you wish to modify by clicking on "Choose type" in the dropdown menu.

This setting allows you to set the route planning preferences by selecting "Prefer", "Allow" or "Try to avoid".

For information about default route plan settings, see the following table:
