This is the tram line 2 in Zurich, Switzerland. Let's focus only on the part from Bachmattstrasse (betw. Farbhof & Lindenplatz) to Bürkliplatz for now.

The part resembles a bike route in the "Velorouten-Initiative". It is not exactly following the rails, but it is pretty close.
So, let's first compare bike route 2 to tram route 2.
If I am at Bachmattstrasse at 12:18, I will be at Bürkliplatz at 12:43.

Now I did the same with a bike and I arrived at 12:41 with pretty much the same (ideal) travel time of the tram.
I did the route twice in both directions.
My learnings:
- Nice start at Robert-Seidel-Hof, feels safe (3)
- Baslerstr.: too many cars
- Bullingerstr.: great, even with cars
- Kanzleistr.: A love supreme
- Bezirksgebäude: it is also a prison, but why can't we bike through (4)
