ADAPT, dude, ADAPT your bicycling.
I do ADAPT, or rather I adapt, not sure if yours is an acronym or if you just have issues. I have commuted year round for 10 years now. This is the VC sub-forum, in the advocacy and safety forum, so I thought there may be some advice on safe ways to get around this. I know some cities, like Vancouver, have buttons for cyclist to push for the lights so there is no need to ride on the side walk.

Maybe someone lives in a city with other options, or other systems in place, just curious.

Thanks, noisebeam, I will look into if my city is using the inductive sensors, and if they are I will see if I can position myself to trip the sensor. The nice thing is that most of the lights on my route change immediately when a car pulls up, so if I can trip them it will make things quicker, and safer for me.
