None of the intersections I normally ride through are on set patterns other than basic 4-way intersections without dedicated turn lanes, where having a sensor isn't necessary.
I can weigh 300 lbs fully overloaded with groceries and that sensor woouldn't send an email update it I subscribed
Weight and mass are unimportant, as others have noted, inductive signal controls detect electrical conductivity, and a standard bicycle rim is an excellent target.
Other signals use video detection... properly adjusted, they will reliably detect bicycles or just pedestrians.
