Fitness tracking device that tracks biking and skating?

I'm not much of a walker or runner, does anyone know if any of these devices do a good job tracking stairs and skating (roller) and bicycling? I play roller derby and use a bike as my main mode or transportation so this is what I'm usually doing. I used a cheap pedometer for a few days and it tracked neither of these even remotely accurately.

The motoactv works as a pedometer, works with a HRM and works on push bikes with or without extra sensors.
Pretty sure it's got a indoor and outdoor roller skating modes, but not 100% on that as it's not something that interests me and I don't have it on me this second. (Edit - yes, it does Indoor and outdoor 'inline skating'.)0 -
Strava is a phone app that does that.0

Theres an app called run keeper for android phones that does this. It will GPS you and tell you where you went, how long, how fast I love it. You can use it for all sorts of exercises including biking and skating ... and swimming which I think is funny bc I dk about you but my phone is not water proof!0

Endomondo app is quite good.0

A Garmin Forerunner would be a good option, too. I run with a Forerunner 305 and have an Edge 500 on my bike--I used to use the Forerunner on the bike, as well. If you're out for more than a couple of hours it will really save on battery life of your phone and has better accuracy, too.0

If you can afford an $80 Heart rate monitor, that would be best. Otherwise, If you own a smart phone there are a ton of free apps that will track it for you. My favorite is Runkeeper0
