Did you learn that tracked vehicles don't change lanes and that on a straight run their lateral movement does not vary more than a mm or so?
If you learned some other commuting secret from that hip hop gibberish, do tell.
Does seem that the cyclist did a lot of huffing and puffing to end up behind the tram; did a lot of narrow angle crossing of the tracks that one day is going to bite him in the ass, especially if he does that when the tracks are wet.

I need to incorporate this into my commuting strategy.
Buses for reference:

I've done that with cars a few times, because I am a complete idiot.
That was a lot of Lego advertisements on that one train, though.

i would imagine that it would quite a rush to ride between them. I would think my heart would jump to my throat and back when they converged on him at the same time.

The scary bit to me is that the tracks might catch his tires just as he's moving from in front of the train.
