Tired of being stuck at the light?

gatdammit · Jun 27, 2013

A geek at work showed me a cool trick. He gave me 4 N-42 neodymium magnets and told me to stick them on the bottom of the bike somewhere. A couple guys at work have done it and they said they never get stuck at a stop light that won't turn. This only works for capacitance type traffic signal sensors. I stuck them on my center stand. Oh, you can get 2 from an old hard drive.

Magnets

Especially when you're expected to wait two cycles, then go right and U-turn for a left.

If you're on a Strada then you have or it is assumed have some degree of hooligan in you. When its safe just run that light and while you're at it, lift the front just a bit for good measure.

I like to remove the stupid reasons for getting pulled over: not signaling lane swaps, rolling stop signs and certainly running lights.

There are other ways to do this.......

green light triggers

Same sort of thing I have used with mixed results

Cool. These are cheaper; free if you have an old pc/laptop lying around. I hear good things from co-workers but haven't tested long enough to confirm yet.
