Tend to find that a lot of the temporary lights with sensors on aren't senstive enough to detect bikes. I've had times where I've tried to be good and not RLJ them on rural-ish roads in the evening when there's not much traffic but the lights haven't changed until a car pulls up behind me to trigger the sensor. This happened repeatedly at one set of temporary lights a few evenings in a row recently and eventually I had to just RLJ or wait in hope that a car would appear behind me, which could take quite a long time. Seemed a bit pointless waiting. Never sure what was at the other end or coming the other way though as the roadwork area was quite long.
