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.

No Grego, I never got the sensor because I came to learn that there are three types of traffic sensors at stop lights: infrared, weight, and magnetic. The infrared looks like a camera on top of the light's pole, the weight sensor looks like a rectangle was cut in the road with a line down its center, and the magnetic one looks like a "Q" was cut into the road. In my area I have mostly the infrared and weight sensors. The magnet will only help with magnetic sensors. I have learned to position my bike better for the infrared sensors and pull up so that the car behind me can trigger the weight sensor. Not the best solution, but has been working OK so far.
