i am and always will be reigning champion of my short friends list until someone who runs or does cross fit regularly comes along and dethrones me.  for a while, one of my friends who is a stay at home mom of 2 kids was exercising a lot and she was beating me by a thousand or 2 steps but she stopped.

 

....i am still tremendously fat.

Does it work with bicycles?

Speaking from experience with the Garmin Vivofit kind of.

These devices sense "steps" based on a motion sensor.

It seems to be mostly based on the step impact. 

On a bicycle the Vivofit seems to count some of the road vibrations as steps but it is inconsistent. 

This morning my 26 mile ride netted me about 5000 steps. 

I chose the Vivofit over fitbit because it was cheaper, waterproof and does not need charged. It is also simplier but I don't mind the missing features.

After using the Fitbit for around 24 hours I'm pretty happy with it. I did notice while riding bicycles that it works much better if I tighten it up. That is opposite what the manual said. I figured this out after I was done climbing. It only went up to around 155-160bpm. It should have been closer to 180bpm. Hopefully it works a little better tomorrow.

I found that when I play tennis (which is where I get most of my steps from) I'll adjust the strap one tighter than usual and pull it up my arm and that seems to give somewhat accurate readings.
