I must say, I think you are wrong about the City of Denver. The city has a policy that it will not adjust the detector loops for bikes. Even the latest lights malfunction in this fashion. A good example: Stapleton's new lights don't work.
Obviously, if there is a car present, as there often is if you are commuting during regular hours on roads full of cars, the detectors are not a problem. Also about half the lights are timed.
