Interestingly, even though carbon fiber is conductive, it is usually doesn't change the magnetic field enough to put in a call to change the light so if you're on your go-fast-all-CF bike, one of the methods described by others above probably will be the way to go.
See, back in the 70s, we didn't know how those worked and thought it was a car's weight that triggered it. Nice to know I don't have to look silly jumping my bike up and down.
