Hop on bikeshare and ride the rails!
I noticed this photo from Pronto on Instagram today. I think a better caption would have been "Work, work, work, work, work (but don't do this!)."

Well, I often ride between the new streetcar rails on a Cincinnati RedBike. (But I'd avoid it if the roads are wet.)
Those bikes are pretty stable. I can easily cross the rails at just a 30 degree angle. I do make sure I'm not leaning into the turn as I cross, though. It does make me focus on the riding, instead of sightseeing!
The new concrete between the rails is flat and smooth. A nice ride.

Woman who crashed along First Hill Streetcar route passes away | Seattle Bike Blog
I've never biked through there and I'm shocked that the city has a bike lane so close to the tracks.
(sorry for the thread necro; I've been away due to being too busy for the internet for a bit)
