"Green Light Trigger" helps bike commuters
A strong magnet trips the signals
Do you commute by bike or encounter many stop lights on your bike that do not recognize your vehicle when you roll up to the stop line? You can wait only so long at a red light that won't change before you may elect to ride through it, thus breaking the law and putting yourself at risk. Sometimes a motor vehicle will come along behind or beside you to trigger the traffic light to change, but otherwise you may be out of luck.
How about trying the "Green Light Trigger"? This device is basically a magnet that mounts under the bottom bracket of your bike. It is small, light weight, and totally legal in all states. It does not force the light to change; it only makes the sensing circuits in the road detect that a vehicle (your bike) is waiting at the stop line. The price is $15.00 for the standard model and $25.00 for the "High Power" version. You can check them out by visiting this web site: www.greenlightstuff.com. We hear this gadget does not trigger all traffic lights, but even 70-80% is better than none!
