I’d think German traffic engineers could come up with a better solution, yet these are everywhere:
The bike paths themselves are desire paths for cars and motorcycles.
To block them off, they put up barriers, but those also block cargo bikes, wheelchairs and strollers, create a collision hazard, and force all cyclists to stop and dismount for no reason.
Of course, they’ll be bypassed wherever possible – naturally by cars and motorcycles too, if there’s enough room.
Or even worse these things where I almost don’t fit with a stroller and which are dangerous for kids because they try to bike through without dismounting:
Luckily my town removed all of them recently.
I’d be concerned about just not seeing the chains until it’s too late.
I had a friend hit that kind of chain at full speed on his bike. He was following me, I went around, and he never knew why until it was too late.
He was hurt pretty bad.
