Does anyone else have trouble opening an automatic gate with a pavement sensor when on a bike? It is sort of like the ones at traffic lights that work either on pressure in the pavement or interference sensor in the pavement. Where I work our personal vehicles sit in a fenced in area. No one messes with our vehicles and everything is on security cameras - that I don't mind. My bike is either not heavy enough or have enough metal to trip the sensor in the pavement to open the automatic gate when leaving. I have to follow another vehicle out of the gated area otherwise I cannot get out. Sometimes you leave at odd times and don't have a vehicle to follow out the gate. The entry gate is controlled by a key card issued to every employee. Getting in is easy, it's getting out!!! Any ideas, helpful hints? Don't know there is a good solution. One guy jokingly said to "put some more metal on that bike"...LOL! Too much plastic, I guess. The bike is a R6S.
