I ride a recumbent bike. Will it track that movement??

Doesn't count the steps if you have it in your pocket, bra or clipped to your belt, but I clip it to my shoe when I get on my stationary bike and it works fine.

I clip mine on the end of my bike shorts leg and it works just fine counting steps.

I either wear mine on a lanyard around my next and it counts steps very well. Riding a stationary bike, not as accurate. Sometimes I carry it in my pocket and it will count the steps no problem.

I really don't know. It does count steps on the elliptical so it might but you should check with the manufacturer to be sure.

I honestly do not know. I would send an email to fit bit and ask. They are very helpful and will get right back to you.

When I put it on my shoe or the pedal it tracks some, but not nearly as much as it should. Do you move your arms when you cycle? If you do, I've found I get the best results when I either hold it in my hand, or I really recommend the third-party wristbands that fit the zip. Just search for "fitbit zip wristband."

No, but the ability to log your activities has a section where you can chart non-walking activities. If your bike is at the gym you should be able to estimate how many calories you burn, as most gym bikes have this. Then enter it as an activity along with the calories and you can make it a "favorite" so you can enter it each time.

I'm thinking Movement Tracking System please don't sue me if this is incorrect!

It sure does. Separate sensor on the crank shaft and frame opposite it for cadence. I have my main speed, distance, time etc. attached to the back wheel so that I can use it on a stationary device

it will register if you are on a treadmill the elliptical I am not sure about. as long as your arms are moving while you are walking it will register. I have to wear it on my other hand while I am at work so that it does not register steps while I am turning the wheel.

Yes, if you connect it to My Fitness Pal it will tell you you have burned so many calories and now have them to enjoy! There is a fork and knife on the UP application that you can put your foods eaten into. I haven't used it, but it tracks your foods. It is seriously one of my most favorite posessions, and many people at work are now wearing them.

It will track movement consistent with movement already being recorded from the location you wear your Vivofit (assume wrist), so your arm movements on the elliptical will record the same as your arm movements while striding if you pump air while doing so. I have not gotten to the depth of trying to set up particular exercise (swimming, elliptical, weight training) that has a distinct burn rate that differs from "standard" activity, like I had on my Fitbit.

I do not believe it will. The tracking (distance) is determined via GPS. Plus, the GPS does not work indoors.

It does track speed, direction of travel, and location. It doesn't have an accelerometer, no data about jackrabbit starts or 2-wheel turns.

Yes. It will measure total time and riding time. Riding time is measured when in the saddle and peddling. The Strada will atomatically start and stop when the wheel is rolling so it will include any rolling while walking th bike which may throw your average off.

No. Accelerometer senses motion but appears calibrated for running and walking. When I row it says I run 5 miles in slightly over the 15 min span (ie. I run a three min mile!). Look out Mr. Bolt!!

Yes it will, I use it while riding my stationary bike and the height and stability is spot on.

No, it does not scold you by saying "Recalculaing!" It simply redirects you. You can tell if you missed your turn by glancing at the screen before you've strayed too far and seeing your progress off the marked route.

This will track walking steps, it will not track activity while riding a bike.

I find it very difficult to track cycling. The troubleshooting says to wear the band lower on the arm but I don't think it really helps.

It will not track if your arms are stationary. However, I have read where you can put it around your ankle to get around this. I haven't tried it yet, but others have. Good luck. It does not agree with the mileage on my treadmill, but I adjust it on the calibration at times.

I don't know but I'm sure it will. I don't use an eliptical. I assume that it uses a standard inertial sensor. I know that it works all day long for any type of body movement.

As a cyclist, I was hopping it would ... but it does not. While it does register some movement it is no where near the number of rotations your legs make on the bike. I did a 25 mile ride and it registered less than 4,000 steps.
