They work by induction, a bit like a metal detector. I've had the same problem with ones in combined bus and cycle lanes because there just isn't sufficient metal on a bicycle to trigger them all the time. If that happens, I'll stop and if the lights cycle more than once without mine changing I'll treat it as a Stop sign and proceed with caution.
Here's a bit about them, although I don't guarantee its techniques will definitely work! http://www.wikihow.com/Trigger-Green-Traffic-Lights

Perhaps you could get off your bike and rub it on the floor :rollin
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - slappy - 10-09-15
Foccing tax man, for the last five years I have been sent notices saying I have underpaid tax, when I haven't ,this year got it all straightened out and I got a refund of £24.80
Just got another letter off them saying I underpaid by £342 in 2012/2013, when you ring them to complain about how useless they are and they should sack the person who cannot do basic maths they take the hump.
I wouldn't mind but I am on paye, one wage and one pension, how hard can it be?
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - HarryHornby - 10-09-15
AHHHHHHH, I've just walked through Canterbury, must have been all of 5 minutes and I had:
1) A chap on a push bike ride through a red light just as our pedestrian crossing was turning green... I called out that he had just gone through a red light and got the finger..... WANKER!
2) A chap in his cage go through a very late amber just going red on another pedestrian crossing ON HIS PHONE! He was only crawling along in traffic, maybe 10 mph so could and should have stopped......WANKER
If that's what's going on in quarter of a mile imagine how bad it's getting across the country...

Copying and pasting on this forum.
Why does it always turn micro, and why hasn't it been sorted out?
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - Skippernick - 10-09-15
Err this cyclists doesn't.
In fact it was a biker who got my goat i was indicating left to come off a round about and said biker cuts up inside of me as i was crossing to get into the curb. His mate was much more polite and patient and he got a wave thank you.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - esetest - 10-09-15
I see as many car drivers and bikers run red lights every day , as well as parking on pavements , and speeding and plenty of other stupid things , people in glasshouses springs to mind .
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - joebloggs - 10-09-15
Motorcyclists who over exaggerate the top speed of their bikes. If they want to impress a non rider, fair enough, but don't try to tell me their GPZ500 does 170.......

0in Beaconsfield today, stopped at the zebra crossing... woman gets halfway across and her phone rings in her handbag... so she stops in the middle of the road, has a rummage in her bag and the proceeds to have a chat... still standing there. Cant gob off at her to much as im in the company van... but she got the " in your own time love " shout.

Those numpties at eBay who thought it was a good idea to upgrade the app that was working perfectly :groan
It took me ages to go into the community section and find out how to get it back, and then it was another member who told me how to do it not anyone from eBay, I think the eBay people were too busy telling people the new app is the best thing since sliced bread and report to them the issues I have. What? I'm now testing their foccin app? Pay me and I'll do that sir!

Ebay again.....seller who have clearly sold an item that isn't fit for purpose trying to get out of returning your hard earned

Would you want to ride with your grips hanging over the end of the bar..............
Exactly

Designed for standard bars though?
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - joebloggs - 11-09-15
The stock tube would end where the grip ends, the thundercat end weight has a long shoulder before the thread that fits inside the tube
