Can I use my Fitbit in my sock?

I have the Fitbit flex and I'm going to take a cycle class tomorrow-will it accurately know my activity? Or should I put it in my sock?

No, it's a step counter.

Pedal rotations on a bike <> steps, so it'll give you an arbitrary figure that doesn't have a meaningful relationship with calorie expenditure.

Log non-step exercise (like swimming or biking) either in Fitbit or in MFP—never both. Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn during that time.

It will only track step related exercise, its best to log your cycle manually.
