That's exactly the point, Londres-rambler.
You're not as big and bad as a tram so you can't just plough your way at one side. Vulnerable users need to integrate to the pattern, cause they're not made of 20 tons of steel.
It would make a nice piece of propaganda to remix this tram vid with material of facilities that mis-engineer cyclist positioning (and cyclists that spontaneously mis-position). Pound the message to the heads of the unwashed masses with aid of quick cuts, one-liner science and dramatic music.
After making the problem clear show the solution: an ok-cyclist navigating gracefully in co-operation with other drivers.
