> which makes no sense because there was no specific bridge in the first place

The context is that nobody would want to bicycle over these bridges in general because where these bridges are generally used it is not legally or physically possible to get to them on bicycle.

The point therefore is your question doesn't make any sense if you know the context.

Look at the other comments saying the same thing as me if you want another perspective to help you understand if you're struggling.

Why were you trying to talk about a specific bridge if it didn't make any sense in context?

Nobody here was ever talking about a specific bridge.

I don’t know if you’re a non-native speaker? ‘This bridge’ means ‘this bridge design’.
