Garage doors?

[Nilo]

Am interested to know what those of you with remote controlled electric garage doors are doing in the winter.
Do you stop your bike, take off a glove, unzip your jacket and fumble for the remote?
or
Do you have a cable running down your sleave, attached to your watch strap and still have to take a glove off because the button gets lost in all the waterproffing?
or
have you mounted the remote on the bike in a waterproof housing and you ride straight in to the garage?

Hook the remote into your high beam switch...flash the lights and the door will open.

I just keep mine in the left hand pocket of my jacket. As im riding up the street i unzip the pocket, and then press the button as im coming up the drive way.
By the time im at the top the door is open and I ride straight in.

Press the button in your pocket. No need to take anything off, fumble for anything, easy as pie!

You clever bugger When I eventually get mine sorted that sounds like a plan was it quite easy or do you need a degree in electronics!!!

Here's a thread I prepared earlier:

My remote, just like the garage door it controls, is ancient, ancient, ancient. Therefore the remote is bloody huge (it uses a couple of AAs!), along with the button on top. I keep it in the boot and it's perfectly easy to use with a pair of gloves on.

I don't see what the big deal is about getting off your bike, you have to get off it anyway in about three metres and twenty seconds. But then again my bike is considerably lighter and easier to push into the garage than some of yours.

you lucky lucky buggers, I have to do a 8 point turn, get off the bike, unlock the garage, and wheel the bike in backwards

I just have my garge door remote on my jacket pocket and push it throught the jacket when i need to open it. Works well,

It sits in the top pocket of the jacket. Coming up the road, approx 100yds away, press button. Hey presto!
Scared the crap out of a mate, who had parked his bike close by, when the door started to open and he hadn't heard my bike coming up the road

You guys need need one of those fancy new commercial security tags that you just have to wave in front of the reader device and its security code activates and unlocks the door for you. No button pressing with thick gloves and pockets required. Only thing is I don't know how one gets one of these. I guess it won't be cheap.
