For my first week with my new theme days, I'm going to offer you a rare educational post. (This is usually the kind that brings out the folks who will tell me why I'm wrong, but hey, at least they're reading this thing.)
I was riding my bike for years before I found out how to trigger stoplights to sense my bike. It's not nearly as complicated as it seems. The bike goes directly over those lines in the pavement that look like someone with a good saw got there before you did. These lines:
The hard part may be having the confidence to put your bike over the lines. Don't be shy--it gets easier the more often you do it. And the danger in not putting your bike in its proper space at the stoplight is that you'll be waiting a while (although you can always use the pedestrian signal if taking the lane really isn't your thing).
What's something you do that's gotten easier as you go along?

I did not know that.....of course, I don't ride a bike anymore but still this is good info.
When someone first told me, I said, "Wow, how has no one told me this in the 10 years I've ridden my bike?" It's amazing how people who know about it just think everyone knows.
