I see on your mastodon profile that you have a cargo bike. Those barriers must be double the fun with those. Are there any that you can't even pass around you?

I don't understand why they don't use 1-2 bollards instead of those snakey barriers. Even with regular bikes they're hard to pass.

So they can open them I guess for landscaping etc

Not sure if the term landscaping covers plowing, but if there is snow in the winter it makes sense to open them to plow the area.
