Is Fitbit counting calories burned twice?

So I wear my Fitbit One all day, including while biking to work and back. For the ride, I use the Runtastic bike app to accurately get the time, cals, etc. which then auto syncs to MFP. Is the fitbit counting that activity twice?

    The FB will continue to record steps for that time period yes, though I've heard they're not very accurate at all when cycling. Does Runtastic give you an option to put in a start time and duration? That's how MFP knows not to double count calorie burns.
