The bicycle is the vehicle most at risk from skidding on the metal tram-lines (rails), especially in the rain. Or, as happened to me when cycling through Liverpool, England, many years ago, my narrow bicycle wheels becoming trapped in the groove and I came off to land heavily on the setts (rectangular shaped granite blocks that covered the surface of many Liverpool streets at that period (1965ish).

How do electric trams work?
They collect electricity (240volts) from overhead wires (called catenarys) through trolley poles or pantographs. The rails arn't electrified. Trust me. I'm a tram nerd. The overhead wires are actually at a constant 600V as + and the rails act as -. Though in principle you don´t get a shock ift the tram wheels happen to be on sand, which is used to give more friction in winter, is is possible to get a 600V shock. If you ever see a tram being towed (pushed) the driver puts on 600V rubber gloves and also lowers the Pantograph. the 600V is used for the motors and one of the breaking systems.
