Calculating steps when riding bike

How many footsteps do I count for bike riding? I normally use my stationary bike and do 3 miles, but I don't know how to figure out if I hit the minimum walking distance. Thank you!!

figure out your steps/mile, then multiple by 3.0 -
Zero ... pedaling isn't stepping.0

Why do you need the steps, not the cals burned?
Technically you didn't take any steps. Riding is usually about 3x a walking pace.0 -
Minimum steps on my samsung is 10k. If I walk 4k, and ride my bike for my 3 miles, have I put in the minimum, that's all I'm trying to figure out...0
