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

Can't say I've ever struggled with normal Cattle grids on my bike - I suppose in the rain they can be a bit sketchy, but go faster, and it's more stable!

Yeah, just gotta hold straight and don't slow down. If you are nervous and go slow, much more likely to end up getting stuck in it.

I guess for low-speed urban situations like the one pictured it might be a bit sketchy. Not sure you’d want to be barrelling into a park on a mixed-use cycle path…
