Is there a way to convert miles completed on a stationary bike to steps?

@Rich_Laue Thanks for your input. 

@BW1950 Welcome to the forums. Thanks for reaching out about the stats on the Fitbit app. 

There is no conversion feature on the Fitbit app. However, you should know that an average person has a stride length of approximately 2.1 to 2.5 feet. That means that it takes over 2,000 steps to walk one mile and 10,000 steps would be almost 5 miles, a rough estimate. 

Have a nice day!

Not really, you may get some steps counted because of vibrations, but on a bike, we are not stepping. Thus some users want all steps removed during biking, while others want steps accredited based on a calorie conversion, and some want every pedal stroke counted, and a few want the step count as if they walked the distance rode.
