Transcription: a photo of a shared pathway entrance with a series of steel pipes placed to create very narrow pathways to enter. The width is hard to tell from the angle of the photo, but far too narrow for a wheelchair or bicycle to fit.

It's a very common design on shared walking/cycleways. A bike will fit through the middle, they are pretty skinny. And the one in the OP isn't finished, then will fence up to the sides so you have to go through it.

they are pretty skinny

The bit I was worried about is that it looks roughly the right height that the handlebars might hit the narrower top part.

Nah most bikes are much higher than those rails. If a bike isn't (like a kids bike), they can go under the rails on the sides since there's a sufficient height difference.
