Blacksmith_tb writes – “Not feeling ferrrous enough to trip the induction loops that trigger green lights? No problem – just epoxy a rare earth magnet to your shoe! Inspired by a product marketed to motorcyclists, which is basically a big neodymium magnet to stick under your ride. I thought it might be better to get a slightly smaller magnet closer to the road.”Link.

    Just don’t get your foot stuck on the gas pedal or other motorcycle part when you’re riding… neodymium magnets are powerful!
