On Sustrans 4 I came across this rather silly barrier. My handlebars are literally touching both sides.

Maybe they are to stop full size motorbikes getting through - but mine is just an ordinary ebike.

At the other end of this path, the chromed plates appear to have been removed.

I find these sort of things annoying. I came across a man in a power chair last year who could not get past the deliberate obstruction.
Will trikes get through?

There is a place on the EU veloroute n°1 where I have to dismount and lift over. Imagine a trike with full paniers and a trailer :eek: Will a bike trailer get through? Trikes are in general 85 cm wide which which makes them just a bit larger than mountain bike bars.
