Actually it does do the trick, Fons doesn't understand the british turn of phrase: Jon is not implying an attempt to win the 2010 Tour de France with his contraption, he is going to have fun on the way to work so I am sure he can extract acceleration (from traffic lights, Fons, he doesn't actually want to be the King of the Mountains or anything, not even give or take 5%) based on the rate of change of a signal.
