That is what happened to me. On a MUP going maybe 15 ~ 17 mph and watching golfers putt on a green right next to the MUP. Bollards spaced across the MUP to prevent motor vehicles. Handle bar clipped a bollard. I went over the handle bars and skidded to a stop on the MUP pavement. Bruised, scraped, a broken hand and about $400 damage to the bicycle.
