What do cyclists do when a red traffic light is not detecting a bicycle?

First, make sure you are positioned properly for the light to detect your bike. Link - http://bikeblogger.com/?p=503

Second, if it is safe to dismount and exit the roadway, you could hit the pedestrian signal (if one exists) and walk across.

Third, you could turn around or somehow find a safe way across by taking a slight detour.

Fourth, you could treat the stop light as a stop sign and proceed with caution.

Usually a traffic light should cycle red-amber-green at least every 2 minutes. If not, it is malfunctioning or broken.

Note: During my commute I performed a couple bunny hops over bumpy obstacles.
