The grids are designed so cyclists do not have to get off their bikes when crossing.

Uhh... not to be "that guy", but I thought cattle grids were supposed to be bigger, and span the entire width of whatever gap they're spanning. The whole point of them is to have a series of openings where the cattle would step, making them wary of it. If I were a cow, I'd be looking at the grids in OPs article as a free public dung receptacle on my way to the park.

Literally narrower than a cow...had the people making it never seen cattle before, they don't even have to do the cow splits to cross it.
