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.
Denver doesn't have a policy against adjusting detector loops that I am aware of. Denver has been very progressive on bicycle use. It may just be a problem with a particular light. Contact the city bicycle planner. He may be able to help.
