That would be hard to see in some lighting conditions.
3 incidents over several months, I'm not sure we need to lose to much sleep over it.

No real excuse for riding into it but...the shadow when the photo was taken and the track sweeping round to the right do disguise the diagonal. It is also at the bottom of a dip so I can imagine people wanting to carry a fair bit of speed to get up the opposite side.
I wondered whether there was a Strava segment along there. There is but it goes in the opposite direction: https://www.strava.com/segments/25297491

It looks like this is Corkers Bottom Lane, where it crosses the end of Beaumont Road North. The Streetview car hasn't driven to the end of the road so doesn't capture the offending gate. The route the cyclists are using is NCN 627.
