Stop and dismount? Those seem completely navigable mounted imho. Why would you dismount?
IF you have a small bike maybe. I often have a kid on trail-a-bike. Sometimes I have a second kid in the trailer behind that. The train cannot be got through that. Even my road bike alone often cannot make those tight turns without dismounting, but it depends on the exact geometry of the gates.
