@Jieben , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message. 

You won't get any steps registered when you're on the stationary bike as there is not acceleration. Fitbit devices have a finely-tuned algorithm for step counting. The algorithm is designed to look for intensity and motion patterns that are most indicative of people walking and running. 

For more information, see How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?

See you around.
