New to Sense.  my daily step goal is 12,500.  If I set Walk, when taking a walk and Bike when riding my exercise bike, will those numbers be counted toward my goal of 12,500 steps?  Or is there a better way to get them counted?

Steps count the same way towards daily step goal, no matter how you record it.  But you probably will not get many steps from exercise bike because wrist is not moving.  Steps are detected from wrist movement, as how arms swing when walking.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
