Of course it's mostly based around steps, and they do not integrate with Strava (blasphemy!). Besides the stupid obsession with steps, it does look like Garmin Connect will report data to our wellness app so I can get credit for cycling time.

What GPS device are you using? Garmin stores locally on your machine (at least mine does), so if you find the folder, you can upload all of them without the hassle of DLing from Strava.

Seems legit.

My iphone running Cyclemeter. I could use the Health app since it works with our wellness program, but I don't know how to track rides in there either.

For everyday use, it can be a little much. I have mine set to something absurdly low, like 10% brightness, otherwise it's just too distracting. Same thing with motion/color changing - too fast and it draws too much attention; gotta be relatively slow or not at all.

I've never used Connect, is there any way to bulk export ride data from Strava (or Cyclemeter) and bulk upload to Garmin Connect if I create an account? I want some Amazon cards.

I've been wondering whether step apps on the phone or step counting devices will record pedal stokes as steps if you wear the device clipped onto your cycling shorts on the side at the ribs/hip. Buehler...Buehler...anyone?

I wouldn't expect so - I would think that the accelerometer is looking for that abrupt stop of your foot hitting the ground. Maybe a new cyclist with a choppy pedal stroke could register some steps, but I don't think that a relatively smooth spinner would register very many.
