Walking vs. Biking Steps

[TristanADCH]

Is there a way to convert the number of miles on a stationery bike to steps on my FitBit Zip?  I biked 16 miles today, but my FitBit doesn't show near that in steps.  If I manually convert the miles I biked, it would be over 33,000 steps.  Thanks!

I'm afraid not. Fitbit strictly consider steps to be only counted when you actually take steps - it doesn't convert other activities like cycling, swimming, weight etc

The assumption is that as the various challenges are based on steps made then it would not be fair unless steps meant steps.

Have you tried attaching to your shoe while cycling?

Awesome help @SteveH and @Playthru! Thanks for stopping by @TristanADCH! If you remember the amount of steps taken you can manually log them. To do so you may follow this post. 

However, as @SteveH mentioned above, only steps recorded by your tracker, MobileRun or MobileTrack are counted toward challenges and goals. 

I hope this helps, keep me posted! 😉
