How do you calculate steps when taking a spin class?

Since fitbit doesn't calculate steps when taking a spin class, how are individuals calculating there time? I am able to put the activity on my dashboard, but it doesn't change the number of steps I have taken. I found online that 2000 steps are taken in 1 mile. Do you think that is right?

It isn't designed to calculate the steps in a spin class.  You can add the activity on the website and it then tracks your calories burned.  Even if you add the 2000 steps for each mile, it won't change the number of steps on the web site as this is synced with your fitbit; which is tracking spin class.
