Any advice for bicycle commuters approaching a red light on a rarely-used side road that is triggered entirely by a weight sensor? I took your advice once ('red lights are red for everybody') and sat their for 5 minutes waiting until another car pulled up to trigger to weight sensor and the light changed in seconds.

Now I just go. I treat that particular red light like a stop sign. I don't lose any sleep over it. And most cops where I live are pretty forgiving to bicyclists.
