If you have to physically go to the bike sensor and swing some homemade apparatus around, why not just take an actual bike, and roll it back and forth over the sensor?
It seems like a bunch of extra steps to avoid doing the same thing easier. Just go for a ride, and when you see a sensor, stop and roll your bike over it a dozen times.
Just to clarify, the homemade apparatus is just a bike wheel in a bag.
A bike wheel is also on a bike. Two of them, in fact.
