Cyclists used to try laying a steel frame bike down on its side across the loop to trigger the induction sensor. Now I have an aluminum frame bike and go when the traffic is clear.

Try constructing a decision table to list factors that are important to you in making a choice. The choice that best fulfills your needs at the lowest average annual cost is what you want to use. At 17 miles you are at the edge of conventional bicycle commuting. A fairing system, front and rear, on any bike or scooter will improve comfort and mpg.
