I have the bitfit zip. Does it keep track while I ride my exercise bike? or should I enter that information on my own?

When biking, I put my fitbit (ultra) in the key pocket that is near the hem of my shorts.  

 

This counts one step per revolution for that leg.  It counts nothing for the revolutions of the other leg.  In that way, it is kind of like it is only counting half the 'steps', but yet is still counting every full revolution of the pedals.  Given that I perceive one pedaling step to be less effort than one running step, I find this to be a fair mechanism for capturing biking.

 

An interesting side effect is that I get huge floor climbing numbers when biking hills outside.  🙂
