Bollards are there to protect people and cars from reckless bicyclists that speed down trails, ignore stop signs and blast through intersections.

I can assure you that is absolutely not the reason that bollards are installed on trails.

These bollards are not hazardous and attentive riders will not be able to miss them.

People do crash into them and sometimes die. So...that's the very definition of hazardous. That good cyclists can avoid them is not a particularly good defense. We're talking about cyclists on the margins, and whether or not it is worth putting them at risk.
