This subject is interesting. I found out that the wire sensor inside the cement is called "Inductive Loop" It detects the disruption in a magnetic field that a large metalllic thing (car) would make. I found out that you can create enough disruption with magnets. After posting here about if NYC has these sensors, I looked around at Amazon dot com and found a set of 4 magnets for $20. They are NEODYmIUM and the size is right, perfect for placing underneath the bike. For $20, an easy DIY project. I'm gonna order them today and wrap them in plastic or rubber. Then I'll epoxy them to the bottom of my bike and see. I even bumped into a video on Youtube that tells that this really works. I'll share with you guys if it works for me.
