How to Trigger Traffic Lights!!!

[Email]

Use a Neodymium Magnet (can get them here).

I bumped into this today and finally found the solution I was looking for. I try to avoid the large traffic times, and often get stuck at a light until a car comes by (or I take right turns and make U-turns). I hope this helps some of you.

yeah I read about those a few months ago and forgot about them. Luckily here in TN they recently passed a law about bicycles and motorcycles, with all the weight sensors at traffic lights now, you don't have to stay stopped at a red light, if it's clear when you stop you can continue on your way. Whenever I do this, I always pedal. I've done this at a light only to see a police car coming toward me from the other direction, just after I had quit pedaling and given the throttle a good twist.
Guess I'm just blessed with cops that just don't care about a motor bike, especially if you are wearing your helmet.

I push the signal button. I push it many many times.
Why do I push it many many times?
Because I believe that each time I push it,the next time will count.
Help me.

Most of the time it's not weight. It's induction. That's why the magnet works.

So you're saying, getting off my bike and stomping on the wire won't help. Might explain why I keep running lights.

No. I encourage you to get off and jump up and down. But first, call me and let me know where and when.

Now that you mention it, when people see an old fat man with a bike, jumping up and down in the middle of the street, they keep their distance.
