Ingress does not record distance traveled correctly when riding a bicycle

When riding a bicycle Ingress does not capture the actual distance traveled correctly. For example: Today I rode my bicycle fron the portal
Border to Boston Trail
(https://link.ingress.com/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fintel.ingress.com%2Fportal%2F2c7fed008cff473fbd18effc674e8446.16&apn=com.nianticproject.ingress&isi=576505181&ibi=com.google.ingress&ifl=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fapp%2Fingress%2Fid576505181&ofl=https%3A%2F%2Fintel.ingress.com%2Fintel%3Fpll%3D42.669628%2C-70.971333)

to the portal Topsfield Attractions

(https://link.ingress.com/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fintel.ingress.com%2Fportal%2F43c6af0af26e38ddafca3154ad29b756.16&apn=com.nianticproject.ingress&isi=576505181&ibi=com.google.ingress&ifl=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fapp%2Fingress%2Fid576505181&ofl=https%3A%2F%2Fintel.ingress.com%2Fintel%3Fpll%3D42.637645%2C-70.950889)

The ingress game reports the straight line distance between the two as 3.9 Kilometers. The attached screen shot shows a remote view of the portal where I started from the second portal.

My Kinetic Capsules only registered about .4 kilometers - e.g. one capsule was at 4.4 km at the start of the ride and it is now at 4.8 km.

Total time between the two portals per the Ingress log is 19 mins for an average speed of ~12 km/h. Well below speed lock velocity.

I did not think to check my trekker stat before and after, but I will monitor in the future.
