How do I get my Force to measure my activity while riding a bicycle?

Anyone found a good way to measure activity while riding a bike..either in a spin class or out on the road?

Your fitbit is always going to struggle to track cycling accurately given it is designed for tracking steps. You would do better to manually log the activity:

Monitoring activity in a spin class is best entered manually based on your percived effort (typically people burn 400 to 600 calories per class, more if you are a heavy male working hard, perhaps as many as 800 calories).   The alternative, which I prefer, is to use a heart rate monitor.  That gives a good(ish) estimate, plus it keeps you from working too hard and going anaerobic.
