How to fool a parking garage gate to open with a bicycle?
Filed Under (garage) by admin on 27-03-2010
stargazer asked:


I commute to work riding a bicycle. My company’s parking garage gate automatically opens from inside on approaching cars, but not on bikes. I don’t know how the sensor works. I wonder if there is a way to trick the sensor so the gate will open on a bike too; possibly with some specific move or positioning?

    For you want to get the sensor is most likely large metal in backpack dont think there is any way to put.

    It is true. The gate is a big metal detector. Try attaching under your bike a few magnets (like the ones from loudspeakers) and the gates should open normally

    you cannot trick that sensor, you need at least 750 lbs of metal ( a motor cycle will trigger it). positioning will not change anything.
